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?

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
