Jeff,
 
Okay, then check out my suggestion for saving the knowledgebase. The output looks like this:
==========

(I added an "*" next to the ones that are security issues)
 
Of course, you'll need to get the KBs off of the Nessus server and also be able to correlate based on the above plugin ids...

Thanks Keith - Very intuitive ;)
I had hoped their might be a way to
transform the form type of output to
single line syslog type without the
addition of a front end parser.

George,

Looking at his e-mail, I would guess that he is interested in adding Nessus support to the eSecurity SIM product.

Jeffrey, there isn't a way to do this without requiring some client intervention. If the user specifies to save the session data, then your agent can read the /usr/local/var/nessus/users/(userid)/sessions/(timestamp)-data file or the /usr/local/var/nessus/users/(userid)/kbs/(ipaddr) file. Note that the "client intervention" can be automated by editing the kb lines in the /usr/local/etc/nessus/nessusd.conf file.

Maybe adding support to allow the kbs to be sent to a different file (or
/dev/syslog) would be helpful. Then again, you may want to check with Tenable to see if they have already solved this in their commercial products...

Why are you interested in such an approach? That is, are you looking to:

   o access partial results in the event the daemon crashes / stalls?
   o have easier access to results of continuous, detached scans?
   o improve distribution of results?
   o do something else?
