Very often, I have encountered problems with updating nessus home feed plugins and components. This is the common message from Nessus.

The following commands can be used to update nessus plugins on yosemite, if you fail doing via web interface:

To update plugins:

cd /Library/Nessus/run/sbin

sudo ./nessuscli update

To update plugins and components:

sudo ./nessuscli update --all

To update just the plugins:

sudo ./nessuscli update --plugins-only
