Am looking for a way to pull the nessus agent status, and linked server name or address.

Thanks

Sorry, I know BigFix but not Nessus. How would you retrieve this from a command line? Registry entry?

On a windows computer:

Windows:

Launch a command prompt with administrator privileges.
 Run the following commands:
    cd "C:\Program Files\Tenable\Nessus Agent"
    nessuscli.exe agent status
The agent should show as linked to the Nessus Manager server.

Please try the following via WebUI Query or the BESClient QNA tool on an endpoint with the Nessus agent running.

exists running service whose (service name of it as string as lowercase = “Nessus Agent” as lowercase)

Please note that the above assumes that “Nessus Agent” is the correct data.

Does the command line allow you to pipe the output to a file?
