PVS Web Server Idle
Session Timeout
This setting is the number of minutes after which a web session becomes idle. The
default setting for this timeout is 30 minutes. The valid settings are between 5 and 60
minutes.
Enable SSL Client
Certificate Authentication
When selected, the web server will only accept SSL client certificates for user
authentication.
Enable Debug Logging for
PVS Web Server
When selected, debug information will be included in the web server logs for
troubleshooting issues related to the web server. The logs will grow rather large if this
is routinely enabled.
Process High Speed
Plugins Only
PVS is designed to expect to find various protocols on non-standard ports. For example,
PVS can easily find an Apache server running on a port other than 80. However, on a
high traffic network, PVS can be placed into a “high-speed” mode that allows it to focus
certain plugins on specific ports. When the high speed option is enabled, any plugin that
utilizes the keywords hs_dport or hs_sport will be executed only on traffic traversing
the specified ports.
Enable Automatic Plugin
Updates
When enabled, PVS will automatically update its plugins from the Tenable site on a
daily basis. Disabling this option if the PVS server is not connected to the Internet is
recommended.
When the HTML Client is updated the web browser needs to be refreshed
to utilize the new client. In some cases the browser’s cache must be
deleted to view the new client.
Realtime Events File Size
The Realtime Events File Size option specifies the maximum amount of data from
real-time events that will be stored in one text file. The option must be specified in
kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes by appending a “K”, “M”, or “G” to the value.
This option records PVS detected real-time events to a local log file.
This setting is used to determine the number of times the encryption detection
algorithm is executed during a session. Once the threshold is reached, the algorithm is
no longer executed during the session. This variable has a default of “3”.
Reports can be cached for a specified number of days. After the configured day count is
met, PVS’s entire model of a discovered network is completely removed. PVS starts over
again learning about the hosts that are involved on the network. This value can be set to
a maximum value of 90 days, if this behavior is not desired. However, it is very useful to
have fresh reports on a weekly or monthly basis. The default value is 7 days.
This variable specifies in minutes (default 15) how often the PVS will write a report.
SecurityCenter 4.6 and higher will retrieve the PVS report every 15 minutes.
The maximum length of time in seconds that a knowledgebase entry remains valid
after its addition.
