For my build of OpenVAS 8 on Debian (Kali):

The redis unixsocket and openvas kb_location need to be the same:
/etc/redis/redis.conf
        port 0
        unixsocket /var/lib/redis/redis.sock

/usr/local/etc/openvas/openvassd.conf
        kb_location = /var/lib/redis/redis.sock

Subject: Re: [Openvas-discuss] Install from Binary Packages on CentOS

I'm not sold on the need to disable SELinux here, but that may help.

At this point, I have the installation of OpenVAS up and running, but
when I ran my first scan, it completed with the following error:
WARNING: Cannot connect to KB at '/tmp/redis.sock': Connection refused'

So.... off to install redis.  Did the yum install, systemctl enable,
systemctl start, and even restarted and re-ran openvas-setup.

systemctl status redis shows it is running.

The error persists in new scans.

Any ideas here?
