Hello, I would like to ask some clarification of all the sync commands. The documentation I can find treats these commands as "magic" and doesn't discuss the context around using them. So far, it appears that a full update to a scanner requires these commands:
openvas-nvt-sync openvas-scapdata-sync openvas-certdata-sync systemctl restart openvas-scanner openvas-manager openvasmd --rebuild --progress 1. Is this the correct complete set of commands to sync everything one should sync? 2. Approximately how often should each of these commands be run? Hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, etc.? 3. Is it indeed necessary to run openvasmd --rebuild --progress? Or will the right portions of the NVT cache be rebuilt automatically after a sync? Because this command takes a very long time. 4. Let's imagine I have greater than one scanner system at some company, and some of them have no Internet access. How can I internally sync the scanners? Both to prevent overloading OpenVAS sync servers, having IPs blocked, and making outbound connections that would not work, etc.? Can / should I just internally sync the following directories? /var/lib/openvas/plugins /var/lib/openvas/scap-data /var/lib/openvas/cert-data Are there additional directories / files one must sync or other commands one must perform for an internal sync to work? Thanks, Matthew. _______________________________________________ Openvas-discuss mailing list Openvas-discuss@wald.intevation.org https://lists.wald.intevation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openvas-discuss
