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.

To create and manage freeze windows:

• Create a Freeze Window

• Modify a Freeze Window

• Enable or Disable a Freeze Window

• Delete a Freeze Window
