I am not an administrator but a User of Nexpose so I don't believe I have all the accesses. My question is this, I see an asset group with custom asset tags. The asset tags have pretty long-winded names that only mean something internally. How do i tell what the criteria of the asset tag is? This is the part that is puzzling me. An asset group, with 2 custom asset tags, but I can't figure out what its filtering on. Is it correct that the custom asset tag actually has criteria set, but I probably don't have rights to see?

I'm having problems getting a SQL query to work properly. I'm trying to pull high level statistics for a simple monthly metrics report but the query I've developed doesn't pass the validate step in the report creation screen. Every time I clear an error another one pops up. Any suggestions? Here's the latest version of the query. SELECT dta.tag_name AS "Asset Category", COUNT(da.asset_id) AS "Asset ID", SUM(fa.vulnerabilities) AS "Total Vulnerabilities", SUM(fa.severe_vulnerabilities) AS "Severe Vulnerabilities", SUM(fa.moderate_vulnerabilities) AS "Moderate Vulnerabilities", SUM(fa.critical_vulnerabilities) AS "Critical Vulnerabilities" FROM dim_asset da JOIN fact_asset fa USING (asset_id) JOIN dim_tag_asset dta USING (asset_id) GROUP BY dta.tag_name ORDER BY dta.tag_name

Hello Am having issues with creating exception is Nexpose Security Console. I do not want to create exceptions based on Vulnerability or Asset. I want to create exception based on Vulnerability Proof such that if word "xyz" is present in Vulnerability proof it will create exception till a particular date provided by me. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

What is the best approach to separate Application related vulnerabilities (like Java for example) from the OS ones when reporting? Is there a way to do that in Nexpose? I tried scoping vulnerable vs venerable version but that's not necessary accurate because you will still get vulnerable version but related to the OS. I'm trying to avoid the manual work of generating a spreadsheet to filter out application vulnerabilities on a separate report.

We have been using Nexpose for a couple of years now, and our biggest hurdle, right now, is getting information about our Cisco IP phones into Nexpose. Is that a possibility that others have seen a solution to? The phone's internal web server presents a lot of information, but it doesn't look like it's discoverable any other way! Thanks!

Can you advise on what registry keys Nexpose looks for in regards to the Meltdown/Spectre vulnerabilities? Our understanding is that to enable the software patches Microsoft has released for all three vulnerabilities, the following keys need to be set under HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management: FeatureSettingsOverride: 0 FeatureSettingsOverrideMask: 3 However, we have found assets in our inventory that have the following keys, which according to Microsoft is to disable all the mitigations. Nexpose is not showing these assets as being vulnerable to Meltdown or Spectre: FeatureSettingsOverride: 3 FeatureSettingsOverrideMask: 3 But Nexpose is (correctly, I believe) picking up assets that have the Spectre Variant 2 vulnerability because they have the following: FeatureSettingsOverride: 1 FeatureSettingsOverrideMask: 3 So basically the reg keys should be 3/0. But we have assets at 3/3 that are not showing vulnerable, and I'm not sure why?

I would like to start automating full scans on newly discovered hosts and was looking to use the "Automated Actions" in Nexpose to do so. I would also like to move them to a new site to allow for more self service for reviewing scans. After reviewing this: https://blog.rapid7.com/2015/10/08/nexpose-60-new-feature-adaptive-security/, it looks like there should be an option for "Move to site and scan" however I do not see that option available to me in Nexpose. Is this option only available for certain discovery connections? Is there any way to do this with a normal discovery scan? I was successful at moving hosts to a new site with this action, however when I tried an automated action of "Scan in site" when "Known Asset available" it did not fire off a scan. I am guessing this is due to Nexpose not viewing these moved assets as assets belonging to that site until a scan is performed?

Please stick/archive or move to knowledge base for others. Thank you. Rapid7 data warehouse extraction setup • Rapid7 data warehousing export only supports POSTGRES SQL; so install a new instance to use a staging/bucket location: o Download the flavor of POSTGRES you need. https://www.postgresql.org/download/ o Install an instance calling it whatever you want. If this is done on the Rapid7 host machine, you need to make sure to adjust the port address as the Rapid7 PG instance is using the default. o Make note of the admin login when you set it up. o After the install is complete, we need to make a new database inside it. For reference: the DB was labeled as: nxp_bucket If there is a need for UI tools; please see this link. • https://www.pgadmin.org/download/ • In order to get the data structure and data out of Rapid7, an export must be setup: o Log into Rapid7 and navigate to the “Administration” section. o Look for “Maintenance, Storage and Troubleshooting” section. o Locate the “Data Warehousing” description and click “Manage”. o This will bring you to configuration settings. Place a check to: “Enable export” DataModel: Dimensional Server address: (localhost, 127.0.0.1, or name of the server) Server port: (whatever port was assigned when the instance was installed) Database name: nxp_bucket (or whatever it was labeled as) User & Password Test the connection before continuing o Next, select the schedule that works best. o Data retention was left blank. o Save your configuration. • To get SSIS/SSDT packages to work (I used SQLServer2016 and MS SSDT), we need a driver and a DSN connection: o Download the latest driver, x64 is recommended. https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/odbc/versions/msi/ o Run through the install. o Next, open up ODBC Admin. Start > run ODBCAD32 o Once the ODBC Admin window is open: Click the SystemDSN tab Add new data source Scroll down and find “PostgreSQL Unicode” and click finish The next screen is the basic connection setup, all options were left default. Feel free to explore and tweak as needed. Test the connection before saving o Close the ODBC admin window. • Now a new ODBC connection can be set up inside SSDT: o Open SSDT, setup a new project, and add a new SSIS package. o In the “Connection Managers” section of the package, right-click and add a “New Connection”. In the list, scroll down to “ODBC” and click add In the connection manager, click “New” On the next window, use the drop down and the system DSN that was created earlier should be listed in the drop down. Use the Postgres one and provide the login info. Test the connection before clicking OK. o You should now have a new connection to work with in the package. • This setup exports **everything** into our staging/bucket. • Schema documentation can be found here: o https://help.rapid7.com/nexpose/en-us/warehouse/warehouse-schema.html • Using this documentation, code the package to pull as much or as little as needed.

I installed the InsightVM engine on an ubuntu 16.04 server, went to the login page via https://public-ip:3780 and was not asked to enter the license key like I was on another test I did but where I used https://localhost:3780 instead. I tried to manually navigate to https://public-ip:3780/admin/global/nsc.jsp to enter in the license key but the licensing tab doesn't have a unique url to load that information.

In Nexpose i'm using API https://hostname:port/api/3/reports to configure report with format "csv-export". For csv format without adding filters I could observe that both vulnerable and non-vulnerable details are populated in report. Adding "statuses" as "vulnerable"in filter options for this API is throwing error as { "status": 400, "message": "The property 'filters' must not be defined in the 'CSV Export Report' object.", "links": [ { "href": "https://10.203.203.24:3780/api/3/reports", "rel": "self" } ] } I feel this is a bug where we cannot add filters to csv-export Can anyone confirm on this?

I was wondering if there would be a way in a template/report to not show superseded patches. Has any had any previous success with either running a scan or report to only show the relevant patches? The "Top Remediations" report is looks to meet some of what I am looking for but seems to be missing some helpful information and is limited to a top 25. Ideally I still want to track all the vulns but provide a clean report that has only what patches need to be applied.

I am trying to setup SAML authentication to InsightVM through OneLogin. Following the instructions on https://insightvm.help.rapid7.com/docs/configuring-saml-20-authentication I have created an app in OneLogin using the SAML Test Connector (IdP) and filled in the ACS (Consumer) URL, ACS (Consumer) URL Validator, and Audience fields. I added the Metadata into InsightVM and created a SAML account for a user to test with. When the user clicks the link they are taken to the login page and their email/password do not work. This is usually indicative of one of the URLs being incorrect or some other piece missing, but I am at a loss as to have is causing this.

I have a system called Squared Up that I use to interface some other systems for dashboarding. I have been looking around trying to find a webapi for Insight IDR but I haven't found one. Does this exist and if not, can we get this added please? I'd like to be able to have a dashboard in my tool that displays alerts from SCOM and our Citrix Netscalers as well as display certain saved reports from IDR (AD/Exchange/Security related). This functionality would be fantastic. Otherwise, we will have an extra system to have to log into and sort through rather than being able to just use one. Thanks. Gary

After performing a discovery scan on two hosts, I attempt a Nexpose scan on those same hosts. The WebGUI takes me to the Imports screen. When I choose our internal nexpose server, a status bar appears on the screen. This status screen keeps moving, but never comes back. The web app essentially hangs - been stuck over 4 hours so far. Any ideas?

I would like to export CPE name from InsightVM. I found this in your FAQ "SCAP Compatible XML is also a "raw XML" format that includes Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) names for fingerprinted platforms." but when I export as SCAP Compatible XML there is no CPE names. Can you help me?
