Currently, this works with [Elastic Search](https://www.elastic.co/) and [MongoDB Atlas](https://www.mongodb.com/atlas/database), but I may extend functionality with other NoSQL platforms such as [Splunk](https://www.splunk.com/) or [DynamoDB](https://aws.amazon.com/dynamodb/).\n\n## Installation\nUse the package manager [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/) to install the following packages.\n\n```bash\npip install simplejson\npip install pandas\n```\nFor systemd based systems, clone the repo under /etc\n```bash\ngit clone git@github.com:nickrabbott/Nessus-Exporter.git\nor\ngit clone https://github.com/nickrabbott/Nessus-Exporter.git\n```\nFill in the appropriate values in /config/config.ini. Polling_Interval is in seconds.\n```ini\n[DEFAULT]\n\n[Exporter]\nPolling_Interval = 86400\n\n[NESSUS]\nProtocol = https\nIP = 0.0.0.0\nPort = 8834\nSecret_Key = nessus_secret_key\nAccess_Key = nessus_access_key\n\n[ELK]\nProtocol = https\nIP = 0.0.0.0\nPort = 9201\nAuth = Basic_Auth\n\n[Mongo]\nURL = \"mongodb atlas url\"\n```\nModify the systemd unit file under /config to store the appropriate values and remove the .sample extension.\n```ini\n[Unit]\nDescription=Nessus Exporter Service\nAfter=network.target\nAfter=elasticsearch.service\nAfter=kibana.service\nAfter=nessusd.service\n\n[Service]\nWorkingDirectory=/etc/nessus-exporter/src/\nUser=nick\nType=simple\nExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 -u /etc/nessus-exporter/src/nessusexporter.py\n\n[Install]\nWantedBy=multi-user.target\n```\nCreate a symbolic link to the unit file in /etc/systemd/system\n```\nsudo ln -s /etc/systemd/nessus-exporter.service /etc/nessus-exporter/config/nessus-exporter.service\n```\n## Usage\nMake systemd aware of the new unit file\n```bash\nsudo systemctl daemon-reload\n```\nStart the service\n```bash\nsudo systemctl start nessus-exporter.service\n```\nCheck the status of the service\n```bash\nsudo systemctl status nessus-exporter.service\n● nessus-exporter.service - Nessus Exporter Service\n   Loaded: loaded (/etc/nessus-exporter/config/nessus-exporter.service; linked; vendor preset: enabled)\n   Active: active (running) since Wed 2022-03-16 00:41:01 UTC; 39min ago\n Main PID: 21837 (python3)\n    Tasks: 1 (limit: 4656)\n   CGroup: /system.slice/nessus-exporter.service\n           └─21837 /usr/bin/python3 -u /etc/nessus-exporter/src/nessusexporter.py\n\n```\nView the logs associated with the service\n```bash\nsudo journalctl -u nessus-exporter.service\n```\n## Contributing\nFeel free to fork this repo or submit a pull request\n## License\n[MIT](LICENSE)","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnickrabbott%2FNessus-Exporter","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fnickrabbott%2FNessus-Exporter","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fnickrabbott%2FNessus-Exporter/lists"}
