Monitor Agents Migration

In Tenable Nessus Manager, as part of Extended Migration, agents are automatically relinked from Tenable Nessus to Tenable Vulnerability Management. You can monitor the progress of the migration and manually retry any failed agents.

Considerations

• When an agent is relinked, it is named after the current hostname of the machine the agent is installed on.
• Your migrated agent groups in Tenable Vulnerability Management may initially appear empty but are populated as agents relink to Tenable Vulnerability Management.

Before You Begin

• Perform the initial upgrade, as described in Upgrade to Tenable Vulnerability Management .

To monitor scanner migration progress:

1. In Tenable Nessus, in the top navigation bar, click Settings.

2. In the left navigation bar, click Extended Migration.

   The Extended Migration to Tenable Vulnerability Management page appears.

3. Click the Agents tab.

   Tenable Nessus displays the list of agents to be relinked to Tenable Vulnerability Management and their status. It may take over 30 minutes for Tenable Nessus to start migrating your agents to Tenable Vulnerability Management, depending on how many agents you have.

4. If an agent failed to link to Tenable Vulnerability Management, in the agent row, click to retry linking.

   Tenable Nessus retries linking the agent to Tenable Vulnerability Management.

What to Do Next

• Monitor any remaining Extended Migration items, such as scan history or scanners.
• (Optional) If your extended migration is complete and you do not plan to upgrade any more data, you can disable migration.
