The nessus parameter to dump SQL insert statements for the installed plugins
has been posted to this list recently. I recommend using that as a
foundation. Secondly, if you are going to be stuffing scan results into a
database you will want to have the script pull apart the results file. The
NessusWX link you reference is, well, for NessusWX. The table definitions
for storing scans is ultimately up to you and what you need/want to record.

Subject: MySQL update?
Hi there.
Im looking for some more detailed information on getting the nessus client
results into a MySQL database. Im not really looking for a web front end, I
just want to be able to use a mysql client to query the database.
I found the following
http://nessuswx.nessus.org/sql_tables.html
which gave the fields needed for the client to populate a database, but saw
that this document dates back to 2002 and was looking for something more
recent - is the information on that page still current?
How are others doing this and what are the best practices - I have seen web
based examples such as
http://enterprise.bidmc.harvard.edu/pub/nessus-php/
but I am wary of php having never used it before.
Any help guys would be appreciated
