Saved Queries

In Tenable Vulnerability Management, you can build custom queries with the Query Builder and save them to reuse or share. In the user interface, this feature is called Saved Queries.

You can access the Saved Queries menu to the left of the query builder.

Types of Saved Queries

There are two types of saved queries available to you in Tenable Vulnerability Management:

  1. User-Defined Queries

    These are queries that you create using the query builder. They are specific to your organization's environment, assets, and risk tolerance.

    • Example — IPv4 Address is equal to 10.1.0.0/16 AND AES Severity range High

    • Example — (Last Seen within last 30 days) AND (Severity is equal to Critical)

  2. Tenable Queries

    These are Tenable-curated queries provided and maintained by Tenable Research. They are designed to help you immediately identify high-profile threats without needing to research the specific CVEs or plugin IDs yourself.

    Tenable updates these queries dynamically as the threat landscape changes.

    See Tenable Queries.

Saved Queries and Saved Views

Saved queries are available across Tenable Vulnerability Management. In contrast, Saved Views are only available in Explore and Recast. Saved queries store filter query logic only. Saved views save both filter query logic and table state such as column names, column sorting, etc.
