Configure the uniqueness key for Tenable compliance tests to control how the system
identifies configuration test records during ingestion and prevent records from being
overwritten when multiple tests share the same control identifier.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_vulc.admin

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllConfigure Tenable Test Granularity.
2. In the Key Configuration form, confirm that:  
   * Source Integration is <kbd class="ph userinput">Tenable.io</kbd>.
   * Table is <kbd class="ph userinput">Configuration Test [sn_vulc_test]</kbd>.
   {#cc-tenable-config-test-uniqueness-key__ul_confirm_fields}
3. In the Additional configuration key section, locate the key you want to use as the uniqueness identifier.
4. Update the key values:
   1. Enter true next to the key you want to enable.
   2. Enter false next to the previously enabled key.

   {#cc-tenable-config-test-uniqueness-key__substeps_update_key_values}  
   For example, to switch to compliance_control_id, enter true next to compliance_control_id and false next to the previously enabled key.  
   Note:  
   Changing the uniqueness key affects how existing configuration test records are matched on subsequent integration runs. Test this change in a non-production environment before applying it to production.
5. Select Update to save your changes.
