Link Sensors to Sensor Proxy
To use Sensor Proxy, link sensors to Sensor Proxy rather than linking sensors to Tenable Vulnerability Management or Tenable Security Center directly.
Note: Tenable Security Center 6.5 only supports Sensor Proxy linked with Tenable Web App Scanning scanners. Tenable Nessus scanners and Tenable Nessus Agents are currently unsupported. Tenable Vulnerability Management supports Sensor Proxy linked with all sensors except Tenable Web App Scanning scanners.
The process for linking sensors depends on the sensor and whether the sensor is currently linked or unlinked.
Use the following table to determine how you should link your sensor to Sensor Proxy:
| Sensor you want to link to Sensor Proxy | Action |
|---|---|
| An agent that is already linked to Tenable Vulnerability Management. | Link an already-linked agent to Sensor Proxy. |
| An agent that is linked to Tenable Nessus Manager or a different Tenable Vulnerability Management container. | Unlink from the manager, then link an unlinked agent to Sensor Proxy. |
| An agent that is currently unlinked. | Link an Unlinked Agent to Sensor Proxy |
| A Tenable Nessus scanner that is already linked to either Tenable Vulnerability Management or Tenable Nessus Manager. | Unlink from the manager, then link a Tenable Nessus scanner to Sensor Proxy. |
| A Tenable Nessus scanner that is currently unlinked. | Link a Tenable Nessus Scanner to Sensor Proxy |
| A Tenable Web App Scanning scanner that is already linked to Tenable Security Center. | Unlink from the manager, then link a Tenable Web App Scanning scanner to Sensor Proxy. |
| A Tenable Web App Scanning scanner that is currently unlinked. | Link a Tenable Web App Scanning Scanner to Sensor Proxy |
