Hi Roger,
Is this feature available in openvas 8 ? In my alerts setup, the only
available methods I have are:
- Email
- System logger
- HTTP Get
- Sourcefire/Verinice connectors
- Send to host / SCP / SNMP
There is nowhere a "Start Task" option which would allow me to to start
the next one. Is this a plugin or something not bundled by default in
openvas 8 ?
