Configure Your Automatic Update Schedule

By default, Tenable Core has automatic updates set to enabled.

If you deploy Tenable Core in an online environment, Tenable recommends keeping automatic updates enabled.

To configure the schedule for your automatic updates:

1. Log in to Tenable Core via the user interface, as described in Log In to Tenable Core.

   The Tenable Core web user interface page appears.

2. In the left navigation pane, click Update Management.

   The Update Management page appears.

3. In the AUTOMATIC UPDATES section, click the link in Timer Config Line.

   The Edit Timer Configuration window appears.

4. Modify the schedule.

   Note: If you set both a Day of week and a Day of month, the system only performs updates on days when those two parameters are true. For example, if you set Wednesday as the Day of week and 8 as the Day of month, Tenable Core performs automatic updates only on the 8th of the month if it is a Wednesday.

   Tip: Tenable Core uses Eastern Time as your default time zone, unless you modify it as described in Edit Your Time Settings.

5. Click Save.

   Tenable Core modifies the schedule for automatic updates.
