How to automate GCE with Jenkins

Greenbone Professional Edition
1

Stumbled upon this documentation [https://gvm-tools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/] but it’s not clear. Is this applicable for OpenVAS GCE?
If so, could you point towards the correct documentation/ general steps required to help us start integrating.

Your response would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

First of all there is no OpenVAS GCE. It is Greenbone Community Edition (GCE). Only the scanner is still called openvas.

You can use gvm-tools to do scripting within the GCE. External access from outside of the GCE is not supported.

Thanks for your reply.

External access from outside of the GCE is not supported.

To clarify, does this mean we cannot integrate GCE with Jenkins, not even the GCE virtual appliance?

External access via GMP to the Greenbone Community Edition Virtual Machine isn’t supported. That’s a feature of our GSM Products. Alternatively you can of course build you own version from the Greenbone Source Edition (GCE).
