Running Nightly

Running Nightly

If you're running linux, be sure to setup a cronjob to remove old files that get stored in the database. Be sure to change .csv if you're using json.

Setup crontab -e with the following config (modify to your environment) - this will run vulnwhisperer each night at 0130:

00 1 * * * /usr/bin/find /opt/vulnwhisp/ -type f -name '*.csv' -ctime +3 -exec rm {} \;

30 1 * * * /usr/local/bin/vuln_whisperer -c /opt/vulnwhisp/configs/example.ini

Another option is to tell logstash to delete files after they have been processed.

For windows, you may need to type the full path of the binary in vulnWhisperer located in the bin directory.
