Relink Sensors Directly to Tenable Vulnerability Management
If you uninstall Sensor Proxy, you remove it from the communication chain between sensors and Tenable Vulnerability Management. Therefore, before you uninstall Sensor Proxy, you must first relink sensors directly to Tenable Vulnerability Management. Otherwise, the sensors cannot communicate with Tenable Vulnerability Management.
Note: If you are connecting to Tenable Vulnerability Management through Tenable Nessus scanners, Tenable Nessus Agents, Tenable Web App Scanning scanners, or Tenable Nessus Network Monitors (NNM) located in mainland China, you must connect through sensor.cloud.tenablecloud.cn instead of sensor.cloud.tenable.com.
For agents running version 7.5 and later, you can relink the agent directly to Tenable Vulnerability Management and remove Sensor Proxy from the communication chain. You do not need the Tenable Vulnerability Management linking key.
-
On the agent, use the following command:
# nessuscli agent relink --host=sensor.cloud.tenable.com --port=443
The agent unlinks from Sensor Proxy and relinks to Tenable Vulnerability Management directly.
-
On the Tenable Nessus scanner, use the following command:
# nessuscli managed unlink
The scanner unlinks from Sensor Proxy.
- Relink the scanner directly to Tenable Vulnerability Management, as described in Link a Sensor in the Tenable Vulnerability Management Vulnerability Management User Guide.
What to do next:
- (Optional) Uninstall Sensor Proxy
