Python3 bindings and CLI tools for Nexpose API version 3

Python3 bindings and CLI tools for Nexpose API version 3.

cli programs

nsc-exporter

A Prometheus exporter for Nexpose scan console metrics.

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.

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-reports

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.
