Hi! I’ve recently installed OpenVAS from source following instructions from this site:
https://sadsloth.net/post/install-gvm11-src-on-debian/
The tool works well as installed (standalone scanner); I’m currently working on configuring a distributed installation, while learning about GVM’s architecture and small itty bitty details.
As an example, I’m needing to configure GVMD to listen on TCP so that it can be queried remotely. I ended up doing that in the service unit with the --listen and -port flags, and it worked fine.
I then needed to point GSAD to find where the manager was listening, so I set the --mlisten and --mport flags, and that also worked.
However, while I was trying to figure that out, I spent a quite some time trying to find where the bare default configurations for these two where. I’m kinda looking for something similar to the output you get from running “openvas -s”, but for GSAD and GVMD.
That is, is there anywhere I can see the configs both of these apply when you run them without any flags at all? Have I missed any obvious config files? Are those set during compile? If so, is there anywhere in the source files I should be looking for them?
Thanks ^_^.
