Maximum concurrently scanned hosts

Scanning / scan configuration
1

Hello everyone,

Is there a way in Openvas to specify (in a python script) the parameter maximum concurrently scanned hosts?

I tried to change this parameter in the web app and everything sounds good, so I would like to change it in my script.
Unfortunately, I didn’t find anything online.

Someone can kindly help me?
Thanks and regards

Please view the documentation for the create_task() function in python-gvm. The API docs provide full description for each available function.

In this case you want to submit a **kwargs for scanner preferences.

preferences (Mapping[str, SupportsStr] | None) – Name/Value pairs of scanner preferences.

All the scanner preferences are found here.

In the method create_task() I add the parameter “preferences” with a map, specifying the number of max_hosts.
Thank you very much!
