CVE Scan not running for some servers

Scanning / scan configuration
1

I have some servers that I can do the openvas scan on but when i try to use the CVE scan, it finishes directly and Severity show N/A result.

I tested the CVE scan for other servers and its working but for those servers its not.

Thank you for your time.

Hi,

the CVE scan requires a previous scan with the OpenVAS scanner to detect the hosts or more precisely the CPEs. See 10 Scanning a System — Greenbone Enterprise Appliance 22.04.17 documentation for more details on configuring the CPE scanner.
