Considerations for Tags with Rules

Tag membership is reevaluated:

  • When you update or create a tag

  • When Tenable One Vulnerability Management imports data

  • Every 12 hours

Tip: For more information, see Tag Format and Application.

Automatic Application

Tenable One Vulnerability Management evaluates assets against tag rules in the following situations:

  • When you add a new asset (via scan, connector import, or leveraging the Tenable One Vulnerability Management API), Tenable One Vulnerability Management evaluates the asset against your tag rules.

  • When you create or update a tag rule, Tenable One Vulnerability Management evaluates your assets against the tag rule.

    Note: When you create or edit a tag rule, Tenable One Vulnerability Management may take some time to apply the tag to existing assets, depending on the system load and the number of matching assets.

  • When you update an existing asset, Tenable One Vulnerability Management re-evaluates the asset and removes the tag if the asset's attributes no longer match the tag rules.

Manual Application

If you manually apply a tag that has been configured with rules, Tenable One Vulnerability Management excludes that asset from any further evaluation against the rules.
