Hi

I am in the process of developing a Splunk app for OpenVAS and have a couple of 
questions, hopefully I can get some help :)

I have had a few problems with using the report formats which are already 
available in OpenVAS, I have ended up using the CSV-Results report and running 
some transformations to alter the format so it is "~" separated rather than "," 
due to the inconsistencies with the double quoting around fields etc.

I would like to modify the report in OpenVAS for make it use "~" by default and 
remove all quotes but I have not been able to find the required steps/import 
scripts in the source files, can anyone help with this?

Secondly. I would like to try and use an alert to trigger the generation and 
export of the report over a standard TCP stream. It seems the Sourcefire type 
connector could be modified to achieve this. Splunk can be setup to listen on 
any TCP port and accept incoming files/reports. Any help which may lead to be 
able to test this would be great. Alternatively, if the OpenVAS report can be 
saved to the local file system using alerts Splunk can monitor that directory 
and ingest the report files that way.

Thanks

Phil
