Bug Fixes

Fixed issue with 8.3.0 Windows scanners occasionally failing on scan export by increasing the default value for the "Max Plugin Output Size" setting to 100MB. (See KB article: https://community.tenable.com/s/article/Nessus-Scanner-restarts-upon-scan-completion).

Upgrade Notes

Any previous version of Tenable Nessus can upgrade directly to Tenable Nessus 8.3.1.

Note: If your upgrade path skips versions of Nessus, Tenable recommends reviewing the release notes for all skipped versions to learn about new features and bug fixes.

Upgrading to Nessus 8.3.1 will trigger a rebuild of your plugin database. This may take several minutes to complete.
After you upgrade Nessus, downgrading to a prior version of Nessus is not supported. Please back up your system first.
