After not being able to resolve why some hosts show the scanning didn't finish after the task said it was complete, I elected to try a removal and reinstallation of OpenVAS using the following:
I did the following: yum erase openvas openvas-* rm -fr /var/cache/openvas rm -fr /var/log/openvas rm -fr /var/lib/openvas yum erase redis yum erase atomic-release-1.0-21.el7.art.noarch ### REBOOT ### Followed by the typical installation instructions for CentOS 7 on the OpenVAS website. The openvas-check-setup returns the following: openvas-check-setup 2.3.2 Test completeness and readiness of OpenVAS-8 (add '--v6' or '--v7' or '--v9' if you want to check for another OpenVAS version) Please report us any non-detected problems and help us to improve this check routine: http://lists.wald.intevation.org/mailman/listinfo/openvas-discuss Send us the log-file (/tmp/openvas-check-setup.log) to help analyze the problem. Use the parameter --server to skip checks for client tools like GSD and OpenVAS-CLI. Step 1: Checking OpenVAS Scanner ... OK: OpenVAS Scanner is present in version 5.0.7. OK: OpenVAS Scanner CA Certificate is present as /var/lib/openvas/CA/cacert.pem. OK: redis-server is present in version v=3.0.7. OK: scanner (kb_location setting) is configured properly using the redis-server socket: /tmp/redis.sock OK: redis-server is running and listening on socket: /tmp/redis.sock. OK: redis-server configuration is OK and redis-server is running. OK: NVT collection in /var/lib/openvas/plugins contains 49416 NVTs. WARNING: Signature checking of NVTs is not enabled in OpenVAS Scanner. SUGGEST: Enable signature checking (see http://www.openvas.org/trusted-nvts.html). OK: The NVT cache in /var/cache/openvas contains 49416 files for 49416 NVTs. Step 2: Checking OpenVAS Manager ... OK: OpenVAS Manager is present in version 6.0.9. OK: OpenVAS Manager client certificate is present as /var/lib/openvas/CA/clientcert.pem. OK: OpenVAS Manager database found in /var/lib/openvas/mgr/tasks.db. OK: Access rights for the OpenVAS Manager database are correct. OK: At least one user exists. OK: sqlite3 found, extended checks of the OpenVAS Manager installation enabled. OK: OpenVAS Manager database is at revision 146. OK: OpenVAS Manager expects database at revision 146. OK: Database schema is up to date. ERROR: The number of NVTs in the OpenVAS Manager database is too low. FIX: Make sure OpenVAS Scanner is running with an up-to-date NVT collection and run 'openvasmd --rebuild'. WARNING: OpenVAS Scanner is NOT running! SUGGEST: Start OpenVAS Scanner (openvassd). ERROR: Your OpenVAS-8 installation is not yet complete! Please follow the instructions marked with FIX above and run this script again. However, the rebuild hangs indefinitely here: openvasmd --rebuild --progress --verbose Rebuilding NVT cache... \ I've been searching for a solution to this the past couple of days but can't find one. Does anyone have a suggestion I might try? Thanks
