Migrate Managed Risk Scanner configurations

You can migrate data from your existing Managed Risk Scanner to a new Arctic Wolf® Managed Risk Scanner during an operating system upgrade:

• Configuration settings, including:

  • Enable OpenVAS scanning
  • Enable Nmap scanning
  • Ping-only mode configuration
  • Denylist configuration
  • DNS configuration

• Preferences, including:

  • Brute force scanning disablement
  • CGI scanning disablement

• Schedules, including configured times for scans to run

• Credentials for credentialed scanning

  Note: Due to end-to-end encryption, you must manually migrate any credentialed scanning configurations.

You can migrate your scanner data using one of these methods:

• Script — See Migrate Managed Risk Scanner configuration using a script if you have a large set of scan schedules.

• Manual — See Manually Migrate Your Managed Risk Scanner Configuration if you have a small number of configurations to migrate.

  Note: This script migrates scan endpoints, scan schedules, DNS entries, and denylist configurations. This script does not migrate credentials for credentialed scans because they are end-to-end encrypted. To migrate credentials for credentialed scans, add them as new credential scans.
