Freeze Windows

Freeze windows allow you to schedule times where certain agent activities are suspended for all linked agents. This activity includes:

  • Receiving and applying software updates

Freeze windows do not prevent linked agents from:

  • Receiving plugin updates
  • Installing or executing agent scans

Note: Freeze windows override both agent profiles and the Nessus Agent update plan. If you assign an agent to a freeze window and enable the freeze window, any version updates that would normally occur due to an agent's agent profile or the agent's update plan are blocked.
