Add an Application

Required Tenable Web App Scanning User Role:  Scan Operator, Standard, Scan Manager, or Administrator

On the Applications page, you can add an application. This feature allows you to add your applications manually or via API instead of needing to scan them, and define them as you would a target. You can define your targets in a much more granular way and tell the scan which application the results should condense to in the cumulative data.

To add applications from the Applications page:

  1. In the left navigation plane, click Menu Applications.

    The Applications page appears.

  2. On the upper-right, click Menu Add Application.

    The Add Applications pop-up appears.

  3. In the Add Applications pop-up, configure the following settings: 

    Setting Default Value Description Required
    Add Application none

    You can add a new application as a target. Click Add Application and populate the following fields:

    • Name (required)
    • URL (required)
    • Tags

    After adding the application it appears as an item in the Targets list with an Application ID.

    Note: You can also use the Add Application feature form the Applications Dashboard in Tenable Web App Scanning.

    		 Yes

  4. Click Add Application to save the configuration.  

    A success message appears: "Application added successfully!"
