Configuration is done via the /opt/nessus_agent/sbin/nessuscli CLI application installed, when the agent package has been installed.
This will link the agent by running the commands:
systemctl start nessusagent
/opt/nessus_agent/sbin/nessuscli agent link --key=<key> name=<environmentname> --cloud --proxy-host=<http_proxy_host> --proxy-port=<http_proxy_port>Once registered and enabled the secret (passphrase) is required to reconfigure and in particular disable/ stop the client. This is only visible via the web interface.
