I’m using the atomic rpm packages.
For some reason, any scans just use a huge amount of resources and it seems to be exhausting connections to postgres.

Scans are extremely slow… in fact it’s doesn’t seem to be making any progress. I don’t see any obvious errors in the logs.

Is this normal?
I think you have to contact atomcorp to troubleshoot since we don’t even know which source code or copy of GVM is being installed from their repo.
I found a post that seemed to suggest 22.5.2 of gvmd has issues. I upgraded to 22.5.4 and it seems the problem is solved. No more ridiculous load and I no longer see the flood of gvmd/postgres processes. Waiting for my first scan to complete now.
Done. Thank you.
