Description:

nexposepy 0.0.19

Python3 bindings and CLI tools for
Nexpose
API version 3.

cli programs

nsc-exporter
A Prometheus exporter for
Nexpose scan console metrics.
It is a good idea to create a Nexpose user and role specifically for this,
with permissions only to:

“View Site Asset Data”
“View Group Asset Data”.

A systemd service file is provided at
etc/systemd/system/nexpose-exporter.service,
and a sample env file at etc/defaults/nexpose-exporter.env.
These will be relative to your virtualenv for a virtualenv install,
relative to $HOME/.local for a pip install --user install,
and (probably, depending on your OS) relative to /usr/local for a
root pip install.

nsc-janitor
Maintenance service for Nexpose scan console.
This will remove sites and reports older than 90 days.
It is a good idea to create a Nexpose user and role specifically for this,
with permissions only to:

“Manage Sites”
“Manage Report Templates”.
“View Group Asset Data”
“Manage Report Access”

A systemd service file is provided at
etc/systemd/system/nexpose-janitor.service,
and a sample env file at etc/defaults/nexpose-janitor.env.
These will be relative to your virtualenv for a virtualenv install,
relative to $HOME/.local for a pip install --user install,
and (probably, depending on your OS) relative to /usr/local for a
root pip install.

nsc-remove-old-sites

library usage
Basic usage:
import nexpose.nexpose as nexpose

login = nexpose.login(
base_url='https://localhost:3780',
user='some_nexpose_user',
password='secure_nexpose_password',
)

nexpose.engines(nlogin=login)
With CLI argument parsing:
import nexpose.nexpose as nexpose
import nexpose.args as nexposeargs

parser = nexposeargs.parser
parser.description = "My nexpose script"
parser.add_argument(
"-f",
"--foo",
help="foo argument",
action="store",
)

args = parser.parse_args()
config = nexpose.config(args)

nexpose.engines(nlogin=config)
print(f"my foo argument was {args.foo}")

alternatives
nexpose (https://pypi.org/project/nexpose/ )
is the official python binding for Nexpose API versions 1.1 and 1.2.
nexpose-rest (https://pypi.org/project/nexpose-rest/) is unofficial.
It is (partially?) auto-generated and more comprehensive than nexpose-py.
