Hi all,
I use nessus to scan serveral branches on a weekly basis. I have automated the
tests via batchmode and cronjobs. Every branch runs in its own script as we
have special times when to test each branch. While performing these tests, I
recognized that very much processes have been started as the tests for the
different branches overlap. My nessusd.conf file contains max_hosts=10 and
max_threads=10 every nessusrc I use, for every branch a own config file, has
the same settings.
Here are the concrete questions I have at the moment:
I there any resource where I will find detailed documentation about the config
files and the usage of the batch mode
Does the nessusrc config override the nessusd.conf file?
What is the correlation between max_hosts and max_threads and multiple client
instances? Are the max_threads the number of threads per host and connected
client?
Is there any possibility to set a server spezific Maximum for threads startet
no matter how many clients are connected??
How can I get detailed information on what each task is doing at the moment ?
"ps ax" shows only
nessusd -D -a 127.0.0.1
which is the command I started the first deamon with.
Thanks in advance
Chris
