Objective
To explain the data processing timeout limits for Automated Vulnerability Remediation (AVR) and where to monitor data acquisition errors within Automox.
Overview
Automated Vulnerability Remediation (AVR) ingests vulnerability scan data from third-party security scanners to streamline patch policies and remediation workflows. Understanding processing limits and error reporting helps administrators maintain reliable vulnerability ingestion pipelines.
Key Specifications & Error Monitoring
Processing Timeout: The maximum allowed data processing timeout for AVR ingestion is 15 minutes. If a vulnerability data payload exceeds this processing window, the ingestion task will time out and require re-execution.
Error Visibility: Any data acquisition or processing errors encountered during AVR ingestion are surfaced directly in the Automox Console under the AVR task details and Events Log.
Troubleshooting AVR Ingestion Timeouts
If an AVR job exceeds the 15-minute processing limit:
Reduce Payload Size: Ensure the imported vulnerability report or API integration query is scoped to active, relevant endpoints rather than historical bulk data.
Review Ingestion Logs: Check the Automox Console Events Log for specific data acquisition error codes or connection interruptions.
Re-trigger Remediation Job: Once report parameters or network connections are verified, re-run the AVR ingestion task.
