Create, update, list, and delete VMware NSX records for authenticated scans of VMware NSX environments. This capability allows you to securely authenticate to NSX managed components using VMware NSX credentials, enabling authenticated vulnerability and compliance assessments of supported NSX services and appliances. This simplifies secure access to NSX environments, improves assessment accuracy through authenticated scanning, and reduces operational overhead when managing credentials at scale.
This supports both VM and PA.
Both basic and vault based authentication are supported. Vault based authentication is
supported only for HashiCorp Vault.

|---|---|---|---|
| action={action} | Required | String | Specify any one of the following: create, update, list,delete. |
| title={value} | Required to create a record | String | A title for the record. Optional to update record. |

|
tags_exclude={tag1, tag2...} |
Optional when asset_type=asset_tags or ip_range_tag_rule | Integer |
Specify a tag set to exclude in the record. Hosts that match these tags will be excluded. You identify the tag set by providing tag names or IDs. Multiple entries are comma-separated. To specify tag names, you must also specify tag_set_by=name. |
