How to perform SCAP/OVAL audit?

Hello dear all,

I have a question regarding OVAL audit, i have made required actions described in https://docs.greenbone.net/GSM-Manual/gos-4/en/compliance.html#oval-system-characteristics in order to obtain System Characteristics, but i noticed that System Characteristics are very limited.

For Linux, system characteristics files are missing crucial “collected_objects” so we can’t use any other tool to create a report. For windows there are only 18 oval definitions embedded in the code that are checked.

Is there a way to generate a system characteristics file for Linux which will include “collected_objects”. Also for windows to use all of oval definitions and not only those 18 written in the nasl script ?
Thank you
