File Locations

The following are the locations of important logs and files:

Location	Purpose
/opt/sensor_proxy	The directory that contains the Sensor Proxy files.
/usr/local/etc/nginx/ssl	Contains server certificates for encrypting the connection between sensors and Sensor Proxy. If you do not use your own certificates, Sensor Proxy generates self-signed certificates with a 10 year expiration. The following are the server certificate files: /usr/local/etc/nginx/ssl/ca.key /usr/local/etc/nginx/ssl/ca.pem /usr/local/etc/nginx/ssl/cert.key /usr/local/etc/nginx/ssl/cert.pem Tip: Tenable recommends backing up these files in case you need to recoverSensor Proxy.
/opt/sensor_proxy/nginx/logs/access.log	The NGINX access log, which Sensor Proxy causes to grow substantially. Tip: Tenable recommends setting up log rotation to prevent running out of disk space.
/opt/sensor_proxy/logs	Contains Sensor Proxy log files: sidecar.log — Logs for the configuration and communication between Sensor Proxy and Tenable Vulnerability Management. sensorproxy.err — Error output from monitoring the Sensor Proxy processes. sensorproxy.out — Non-error output from monitoring the Sensor Proxy processes.
