Description

Hi,

I've noticed that there is a new section called "Tenable Nessus" on the pyTenable documentation:

https://pytenable.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api/nessus/index.html

My inquiry is to confirm if this is to help interface with the Nessus Scanners through the pyTenable library and if so, can there be a sample code on how to connect to the Nessus scanner using this library? Similar to the Tenable Security Center section, it talks how to use that class and connect to it:

https://pytenable.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api/sc/index.html

Thanks!

Research direction

Start by comparing the linked Tenable Nessus API documentation with the Tenable Security Center section, especially its usage and connection guidance. Add a Nessus scanner connection example if the library supports that interface, and confirm the documentation clearly explains how to use it.
