Feeds (Organizational Users Only)

Path: Your user profile icon > Feeds

The Feeds option displays information about the Tenable Security Center feeds and plugin sets and, if permitted, a link to update the plugins either through Tenable Security Center or by manually uploading plugins. The displayed feeds are for Tenable Security Center Feed, Active Plugins, Passive Plugins, and Event Plugins. You can only update feeds with valid Activation Codes.

Plugins are scripts used by the Tenable Nessus, Tenable Nessus Network Monitor, and Log Correlation Engine servers to interpret vulnerability data. For ease of operation, Tenable Security Center centrally manages Tenable Nessus and Tenable Nessus Network Monitor plugins and pushes the plugins out to their respective scanners. Log Correlation Engine servers download their own event plugins and Tenable Security Center downloads event plugins for its local reference. Tenable Security Center does not currently push event plugins to Log Correlation Engine servers.

For more information about plugin/feed settings, see Configuration Settings and Edit Plugin and Feed Settings and Schedules.
