Overnight scans seem to break the web interface - 22.04.27/VMWare

[klier]

Good morning!

We have been currently evaluating the free version of Greenbone Vulnerability Manager, with the prospect of perhaps down the road purchasing the full, supported version.

Installation of the community edition went very smooth, working in a VMWare ESXi environment by deploying the Greenbone-Enterprise-TRIAL-22.04.27-VMware-Workstation.ova. Scans done during the day seem to work without a problem, however, lengthy scans that are left to go overnight result in a non-responding Greenbone Vulnerability Manager service by the next day:

A local “admin” login at the console still seems to work, but restarting the server through the text GUI doesn’t seem to resolve the issue. There doesn’t seem to be any way to login to the web interface now. Is there a quick command I can send at the console to regain the ability to login to the web interface?

Most likely the same problem as reported here. Please try the workaround mentioned:

Greenbone web user/not fully functional yet

We have identified an issue with the current versions of the Greenbone Free where not enough disk space is available to process feed updates. This is due to improvements to the feed recently which increased the feed size. We are preparing a new version of the Greenbone Free to fix the issue, however I do not have an ETA yet. As a workaround, you can download the Greenbone Free again and after starting it disable the feed update as per 7 Managing the Greenbone Operating System - Greenbone Enter…

I’ll give that a try and we’ll see what tomorrow brings! I’ll report back here.
