Tag Rules Filters

Note: If there is a typo in the tag rule, an error appears in the Rules box with a description of the issue.

Note: Tenable Vulnerability Management supports a maximum of 1,000 rules per tag. This limit means that you can specify a maximum of 1,000 and or or conditions for a single tag value. Additionally, Tenable Vulnerability Management supports a maximum of 1,024 values per individual tag rule.

On the Tags page, you can select from the following filters to create rules for an automatic tag:

Hosting Provider The hosting provider for the asset.
IaC Resource Type The Infrastructure as Code (IAC) resource type of the asset.
Installed Software

A list of Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) values that represent software applications a scan identified as present on an asset. This field supports the CPE 2.2 format. For more information, see the Component Syntax section of the CPE Specification documentation, Version 2.2. For assets identified in Tenable scans, this field contains data only if a scan using Tenable Nessus Plugin ID 45590 has evaluated the asset.

Note: If no scan detects an application within 30 days of the scan that originally detected the application, Tenable Vulnerability Management considers the detection of that application expired. As a result, the next time a scan evaluates the asset, Tenable Vulnerability Management removes the expired application from the Installed Software attribute. This activity is logged as a remove type of attribute change in the asset activity log.

IPv4 Address

The IPv4 address associated with the asset record..

This filter supports multiple asset identifiers as a comma-separated list (for example, hostname_example, example.com, 192.168.0.0). For IP addresses, you can specify individual addresses, CIDR notation (for example, 192.168.0.0/24), or a range (for example, 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.255).

Note: A CIDR mask of /0 is not supported for this parameter, because that value would match all IP addresses. If you submit a /0 value for this parameter, Tenable Vulnerability Management returns a 400 Bad Request error message.

Note: Ensure the tag filter value does not end in a period.

IPv6 Address

An IPv6 address that a scan has associated with the asset record.

This filter supports multiple asset identifiers as a comma-separated list. The IPV6 address must be an exact match. (for example, 0:0:0:0:0:ffff:c0a8:0).

Note: Ensure the tag filter value does not end in a period.

Is Attribute Specifies whether the asset is an attribute.
Is Auto Scale Specifies whether the asset scales automatically.
Is Unsupported Specifies whether the asset is unsupported in Tenable Vulnerability Management.
Last Audited The time and date at which the asset was last audited.

Last Licensed Scan

The date and time of the last scan in which the asset was considered "licensed" and counted towards Tenable's license limit. A licensed scan uses non-discovery plugins and can identify vulnerabilities. Unauthenticated scans that run non-discovery plugins update the Last Licensed Scan field, but not the Last Authenticated Scan field. For more information on licensed assets, see Tenable Vulnerability Management Licenses.

Last Seen The date and time of the scan that most recently identified the asset.
Licensed

Specifies whether the asset is included in the asset count for the Tenable Vulnerability Management instance.

MAC Address

A MAC address that a scan has associated with the asset record.

Mitigation Last Detected The date and time of the scan that last identified mitigation software on the asset.

  1. Agent Name (if agent-scanned)

  2. NetBIOS Name

  3. FQDN

  4. IPv6 address

  5. IPv4 address

For example, if scans identify a NetBIOS name and an IPv4 address for an asset, the NetBIOS name appears as the Asset Name.
