Hi, just a clarification on the following: On 22.02.2018 19:38, Yohan Pipereau wrote: > If you drop everything, on redis, you will need to retrieve the vulnerability > and it should be done by openvas automatically causing the first scan to be a > bit longer. there is currently no persistent data saved into redis across e.g. different scans against the same host. As long as no scan is running you can flush the redis database without any negative effects / drawbacks or longer scan times on the next scan run.

Re: [Openvas-discuss] Openvas scanner won't start
Hi there, I am not really aware of the news on OpenVAS since October 2017 when I ended working on it. I hoped it would be patched in the newest version. Le 22/02/2018 à 01:41, Scott Knauss a écrit : > Second, a questions: any reason not to flush redis once a week? Actually, it depends on how many times you SIGKILL OpenVAS every week ;). As far as I remember, the redis database on the version I was working on (OpenVAS Scanner 5.1.1 with openvas-libraries 9.0.1) contained the following informations: - path to Vulnerability files (NVT) [if I remember well] - scan data during scan run. - scan data if scan SIGKILL Thus it depends on how you plan to flush your database. If you drop everything, on redis, you will need to retrieve the vulnerability and it should be done by openvas automatically causing the first scan to be a bit longer. If you have some redis knowledge do not hesitate to dig into the database, this could have changed and I'm not sure about some infos.

Re: [Openvas-discuss] Openvas scanner won't start
Ran into this problem today and found this thread. First wanted to thank you. I was actually in the process of rebuilding on a new VM when I came across this thread. (This is the second time I've hit this issue, the last time mid summer 2017 before you posted this thread.) Second, a questions: any reason not to flush redis once a week?

Re: [Openvas-discuss] Openvas scanner won't start
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 flushall The 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 info keyspaces You should have one database with lot of data. Then, try to launch a new scan.

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. ___ Openvas-discuss mailing list Openvas-discuss@wald.intevation.org https://lists.wald.intevation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openvas-discuss
