How to automatically export OpenVAS reports after each scan to a folder (e.g., /var/lib/openvas/reports)?

Hello, I have a scheduled daily scan task, and I would like to automatically export this scan to a specific folder (e.g., /var/lib/openvas/reports) in JSON format.

I tried using this script, but gvm-cli does not recognize the syntax (–gmp-username “admin” --gmp-password “your_password”), and it also does not run as root.

#!/bin/bash

# Variables
TIMESTAMP=$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M)
REPORT_ID="<ID_SCAN>"  
OUTPUT_DIR="/var/lib/openvas/reports/"
OUTPUT_FILE="$OUTPUT_DIR/report_$TIMESTAMP.json"

# Export du rapport
gvm-cli socket --gmp-username "admin" --gmp-password "your_password" --xml \
"<get_reports report_id='$REPORT_ID' format_id='c1645568-627a-11e3-a660-406186ea4fc5'/>" > $OUTPUT_FILE

echo "Rapport exporté : $OUTPUT_FILE"

Do you have a solution? Thank you very much.
