  • search for vulnerabilities using a keyword search

Instance Configuration Parameters

Property
Description

Instance Name

Name for InsightVM / Nexpose instance.


Unique ID

Flow Nodes

This node provides Rapid7 InsightVM / Nexpose capabilities to search for assets and retrieving information about an asset.
Property
Description

Name

The display name of the node within the flows.


Unique ID

System-wide unique ID of the plugin instance.


Action

Configuration option determining the type of operation to perform:

  • Find Assets – Searches for matching assets based on the Filters Array and Match Mode. The maximum number of returned assets may be limited by setting a Size Limit.
  • Get Asset – Retrieves a number of bits of information about an asset identified by its Asset ID.
  • Get Asset Policies – Retrieves detailed policy information for an asset identified by its Asset ID.
  • Get Asset Services – Retrieves detailed service information for an asset identified by its Asset ID.
  • Get Asset Vulnerabilities – Retrieves detailed vulnerability information for an asset identified by its Asset ID.

Successful results for an action are placed in msg.payload.nexpose.[uniqueId].response. For the Find Assets action, an array of matching resources is returned within the response.


Filters Array

The Filters Array field is a JSON array of Search Criteria supporting variable substitution from the incoming message using a mustache format. Learn more about searching and filtering of assets by referencing the InsightVM API Asset Search page and the InsightVM API Search Criteria page. A mustache is a set of double curly braces surrounding a variable, i.e. {{ variable }}. For example, {{payload.data}} would substitute in the value of payload.data found in the incoming message. Visit the Template Engine and Formatters page to learn more.


Match Mode

Boolean logic operator of for the Filters Array. Allows for eith boolean AND or boolean OR.


Size Limit

The maximum number of search results to return.


Asset ID

The InsightVM / Nexpose ID number for the asset.

This node provides Rapid7 InsightVM / Nexpose capabilities for managing sites, managing site assets, and managing site scans.
Property
Description

Name

The display name of the node within the flows.


Unique ID

System-wide unique ID of the plugin instance.


Action

Configuration option determining the type of operation to perform:

  • List Sites – Retrieves the current list of sites.
  • Get Site (Site ID) – Retrieves the meta data for the specified site identified by site ID.
  • Get Site (Site Name) – Retrieves the meta data for the specified site identified by site name.
  • Create Site – Creates a new site.
  • List Assets (Site ID) – Returns the list of active assets within the specified site identified by site ID.
  • List Assets (Site Name) – Returns the list of active assets within the specified site identified by site name.
  • Add Asset(s) (Site ID) – Adds an asset to the specified site identified by site ID.
  • Add Asset(s) (Site Name) – Adds an asset to the specified site identified by site name.
  • Delete Asset(s) (Site ID) – Deletes active or defined assets from the specified site identified by site ID.
  • Delete Asset(s) (Site Name) – Deletes active or defined assets from the specified site identified by site name.
  • Scan Site (Site ID) – Initiates a scan of the specified site identified by site ID.
  • Scan Site (Site Name) – Initiates a scan of the specified site identified by site name.
  • Get Scan Information – Retrieves information for a scan identified by scan ID.
  • Get Scan Results – Retrieves the results of a scan identified by scan ID. This action will block the message until the scan’s status has transitioned to aborted, unknown, finished, stopped, or error.
  • Set Scan Status – Sets the status for a scan given the scan ID number.

Successful results for an action are placed in msg.payload.nexpose.[uniqueId].response. If the action returns multiple assets or sites, an array of resources is returned within the response.


Site ID

The ID number of a specific site.


Site Name

The unique name of a site.


Asset(s)

The Asset(s) may be specified as a host name, IP address, CIDR block (192.168.1.0/24), or IP address range (startIp-endIp).


Scan Name

When starting a new scan using the Scan Site (Site ID) action or the Scan Site (Site Name) action, this is the name of the newly created scan.


Engine ID

When starting a new scan using the Scan Site (Site ID) or the Scan Site (Site Name) action, this is the number of the scan engine to use. The scan engine information is available by retrieving a site’s meta data using the Get Site (Site ID) or Get Site (Site Name) action and referencing the scanEngine value from the response.


Template ID

When starting a new scan using the Scan Site (Site ID) or the Scan Site (Site Name) action, this is the scan template string. The scan template information is available by retrieving a site’s meta data using the Get Site (Site ID) or Get Site (Site Name) action and referencing the scanTemplate value from the response.


Scan Hosts

Scan ID

The scan ID number of interest. This number is usually obtained from a previous node in the flow configured with the Scan Site (Site ID) or the Scan Site (Site Name) action.

This node provides Rapid7 InsightVM / Nexpose capabilities to search for vulnerabilities and retrieving information about a vulnerability.
Property
Description

Name

The display name of the node within the flows.


Unique ID
