Routines

The following is not supported in Tenable FedRAMP Moderate environments. For more information, see the Tenable FedRAMP Product Offering.

Required User Role: Scan Operator, Standard User, Scan Manager, Administrator, or Custom Role

A routine is an agentic workflow that Tenable One Vulnerability Management runs on a defined schedule to carry out exposure management work across your environment. Tenable Hexa AI carries out the work as an agent - reasoning at runtime rather than following fixed steps - so your team spends less time on repetitive work and more on reducing risk.

On the Routines page and on the Routines tab in the Tenable Hexa AI panel, you can view, create, and manage the routines in your Tenable One Vulnerability Management instance.

Routines Page

The Routines page provides a full-page view of all routines in your Tenable One Vulnerability Management instance. You can use this page to monitor routine activity, review run history, and perform management actions on your routines.

To access the Routines page:

1. Access the Agent Center. By default, the Routines page appears.

   

   Tip:  Above the routines table, click Create Routine to create a new routine. For more information, see Create a Routine.

The Routines page includes the following sections:

Routine Summary

At the top of the page, three summary cards provide a high-level view of your routine activity:

Card	Description
Needs your Input	The number of routines that are paused because Tenable Hexa AI needs your approval.
Running Today	The number of routines scheduled to run today, and how many of those routines are currently in progress.
Routine Success	The percentage of routines that completed successfully, along with the number of routines that completed and the number that failed.

Routines Requiring Attention and Routines In Progress

Below the summary cards, the Routines Requiring Attention and Routines In Progress sections list the routines in each state. Each section includes a count of its routines. Each routine appears on a card that shows the routine name, a brief description, its current status, and a View link that opens the routine's chat. For more information, see View a Routine Chat.

If no routines are in a state, the section displays a message such as No routines are currently requiring attention. To collapse or expand the Routines Requiring Attention section, click the arrow next to its title.

All Scheduled Routines

The All Scheduled Routines section lists all routines in your Tenable One Vulnerability Management instance. A count of your routines appears next to the section title.

Above the table, you can do the following:

• In the Enter filter query box, type or select a filter to filter the routines list. For more information, see Filter the Routines List.
• View the total number of routines, and click the button to refresh the list.
• Click Create Routine to create a new routine. For more information, see Create a Routine.
• Click Spacing to change the row spacing, or click Columns to choose the columns that appear in the table.
• Use the pagination controls to move between pages of routines.

Each row represents a single routine and includes the following information:

Column	Description
Routine Name	The name of the routine.
Status	The current status of the routine. For a description of each status, see Routine Statuses.
Last Run Status	The outcome of the routine's most recent run. For a description of each status, see Routine Statuses.
Mode	The mode in which the routine operates.
Schedule	The frequency or schedule on which the routine runs automatically.
Last Run	The date and time at which the routine most recently ran.
Created At	The date and time at which the routine was created.

Filter the Routines List

You can filter the routines list to find specific routines.

To filter the routines list:

1. Click the Enter filter query box above the routines table.

   A list of filters appears.

   

2. Type or select a filter. You can filter by the following:

   • Name

   • Last Run Status
   • Last Run Updated
   • next_run_at
   Tip: To perform a simple search, enter your search term in quotation marks.

3. Click the button or press Enter on your keyboard.

   Tenable One Vulnerability Management updates the routines list to show only the routines that match your filter.

Run History

To view the run history for a routine, click the expand arrow to the left of the routine row. The run history sub-table appears below the routine and lists each individual run, including its start time and status.

Routines Tab in the Hexa AI Panel

In the Tenable Hexa AI panel, click the Routines tab to view and manage your routines without leaving your current page. Routines are grouped by their current status, so you can quickly identify which routines need attention.

To access the Routines tab:

1. In the upper-right corner of the page, click Hexa AI.

   The Hexa AI panel appears.

2. Click the Routines tab.

   The Routines Hexa AI tab appears.

   

Routines are organized into the following status groups:
