Cloud CI Lookup Rule Identifying Non-Ephemeral Servers as Virtual Machine Instances

Currently we are seeing some non-ephemeral servers also getting identified through Cloud CI lookup rule as Virtual Machine Instances.

To properly separate ephemeral and non-ephemeral assets, we need some guidance from your infrastructure/cloud team on how these assets are identified in your environment.

Can you please help us understand:

  • how ephemeral assets are differentiated in Tenable/cloud sources

  • whether any tags, naming conventions, autoscaling indicators, VDI non-persistent flags, or Kubernetes/container identifiers are available

  • and what attributes should be used to identify persistent vs temporary assets

This will help us make sure:

  • only ephemeral assets use Cloud CI lookup logic

  • and remaining server CIs continue through normal lookup rules like MAC/IP/Hostname matching.
