Hi

I would like to access the VA data collected by the Nessus sanner.
Is there any direct DB access or some other API access ?


The UNIX nessus client can convert the nbe or nsr text output to a mysql
statement which can be used to import the data to a SQL database.

What I should have said, is that with the Nessus UNIX client you can
convert the scan results to an XML file and then import them into a SQL
database or even open them up in a spread sheet like Excel. The
conversion the Nessus client does for you to a SQL statement is for
processing the list of available plugins and scanner preferences.
