Table 10 – Local Repository Options
Option
Description
Name
The repository name.
Description
Descriptive text for the repository.
Type
Local
IP Version
Determines if the repository will store IPv4 or IPv6 results. SecurityCenter repositories
cannot store a mix of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Trending
If trending is not selected, any query that uses comparisons between
repository snapshots (e.g., trending line charts) will not be available.
This option allows for a periodic snapshot of the .nessus data for vulnerability
trending purposes. This option is useful in cases where tracking data changes is
important. In situations where repository datasets do not change frequently – negating
the need for trending – disable this option to minimize disk space usage.
Generate Nessus File
Use this option to schedule how frequently the Nessus file snapshot will be taken.
Available options include: Never, Daily, Weekly, Monthly (Day), and Monthly (Date).
Download Format
Allows for selecting between the Nessus v1 and v2 formats for the generated Nessus
file. When IPv6 data is used, the v2 format must be selected.
IP Ranges
Allowed ranges for importing vulnerability data. Addresses may be a single IP address,
IP range, CIDR block or any comma-delimited combination (20 K character limit).
LCE Correlation
Log Correlation Engine servers that will receive the vulnerability correlation information
from this repository.
Organizations
Organizations that have access to the vulnerability data within the repository. Within
the “Organizations” section, click the green key icon for access control options. Access
is available for the “Organization Head” user or for “All Users” within the Organization
(affects existing users only).
Remote Repository
Remote repositories are useful because they allow separate SecurityCenters to share repository data via a SSH session.
The table below describes configurable fields for a remote repository:
