Hi ,
I m not sure but i faced a similar problem.

You can try to connect to the redis socket and run:redis-cli -s <socket> 
flushall
The <socķet> is the unixsocket path you can find in /etc/redis.conf.It should 
return OK.
Then restart the openvas scanner with:systemctl restart openvas-scanner.
It will retrieve all the nvt infos and put them back in redis.You can check 
that by running redis-cli -s <redis-socket> info keyspaces
You should have one database with lot of data.
Then, try to launch a new scan.

won't start 


Openvas was scanning fine for several days then suddenly stopped. The greenbone 
gui was running fine but wouldn't let me initiate new scans since it said the 
service was down.
 I ran openvas-check-setup and it said everything was ok except the scanner 
service was down. So I ran /etc/init.d/openvas-scanner start and it returned, 
"openvas-scanner.service failed because a timeout was exceeded. See 'systemctl  
status openvas-scanner.service'
 and 'journalctl  -xe' for details."
 
When I run 'systemctl  status openvas-scanner.service', it says, 'load Failed 
to start Open Vulnerability Assessment System Scanner Daemon.'
 
I tried purging openvas, rebooting, reinstalling, running openvas-setup but it 
hangs up and freezes at the end of the process. Are there any other options 
besides wiping out
 Kali and restoring a new Kali image? I really want to avoid doing that if 
possible.
