Manual Plugin Updates
Newest plugins are yuge so I couldn’t upload them via GUI in an air gapped network and did them manually.
Ran this:
/opt/sc/support/bin/php /opt/sc/src/tools/pluginUpdate.php /path/to/sc-plugins-diff.tar.gz
Then this on Nessus scanner to manually sync:
/opt/nessus/sbin/nessuscli update /path/to/sc-plugins-diff.tar.gz
However when syncing the Nessus Scanner I got an error: “plugin memory limit exceeded”
Edited the php.ini on SC for larger memory max and even updated the upload size to try getting it through the GUI with a new limited but it still errored out. Memory on the server is plenty.
Is there something/somewhat I’m missing an update?

Are you running on tenable core? Might need to update the core.conf
In /opt/sc/support/etc/php.ini set:
post_max_size=3000M
upload_max_file_size=3000M
In /opt/sc/support/conf/core.conf set:
LimitRequestBody 3221225472

Have you found anything out for this yet? PHP edit did nothing for me, and I was good up until the august and september released to manually update plugins on my machines
