Hi List I've preconfigured targets and tasks for openvas using the gsad, and tested scanning via the gsad. Now I'd like to kick off a scan using the openvas-cli tool with something like:
--- openvas-cli -v -u admin_user -w password -S <task uuid> --- Getting the task uuid and status is easy (clear from the documentation): --- [root@openvas-mstr openvas]# openvas-cli -u admin -w admin -G| grep New| head -1 xxxxxx-yyyy-zzzzz-wwww-xxxxxx New scan-range-192.168.0 --- However, when I try to kick off the task like this: --- [root@openvas-mstr openvas]# [root@openvas-mstr openvas]# openvas-cli -v -u xxxx -w yyyy -S xxxxxx-yyyy-zzzzz-wwww-xxxxxx --- ... There's no output (even when using the verbose flag), and the status of the task is unchanged: --- [root@openvas-mstr openvas]# openvas-cli -u admin -w admin -G| grep New| head -1 xxxxxx-yyyy-zzzzz-wwww-xxxxxx New scan-range-192.168.0 --- I've upped the loglevel parameter in openvasmd_log.conf to 255, however I don't see any messages around this particular uuid in the logs when I start the task via the cli. However, when I start the task via gsad, I can see the task transition to running in the logs: --- [root@openvas-mstr openvas]# tail -f /var/log/openvas/openvasmd.log| grep xxxxxx-yyyy-zzzzz-wwww-xxxxxx event task:MESSAGE:2014-10-18 16h15.31 UTC:6476: Status of task scan-range-192.168.0 (xxxxxx-yyyy-zzzzz-wwww-xxxxxx) has changed to Requested event task:MESSAGE:2014-10-18 16h15.31 UTC:6476: Task xxxxxx-yyyy-zzzzz-wwww-xxxxxx has been requested to start by admin event task:MESSAGE:2014-10-18 16h15.58 UTC:6478: Status of task scan-range-192.168.0 (xxxxxx-yyyy-zzzzz-wwww-xxxxxx) has changed to Running --- Am I going about launching the task from the CLI the right way? If so, how would I debug this further?
