Nessus Agent deployment to campus Jamf instances
Katelyn Russell
Nessus deployment to all Macs is enabled in the campus Jamf instances using policy GLOBAL - Nessus agent install/link which uses the script GLOBAL-nessus-install-link
The policy is set to run once a day. It will do a link check and report status. If Nessus is not linked, it will link it. If it is not installed, it will install it, then link it.
The script outputs the result of "nessuscli agent status" to the policy log.
Prerequisites
- inventory.plist
For the script to work, the site must have a policy for creating an inventory.plist file, which contains the Nessus Group to be linked
- see Policy and script for creating a utexas inventory.plist file
