Dear community,

I’m currently facing an issue when I’m trying to perform a scan on GSA.
The scan is interrupted at 0% and it seems that GSA cannot connect to the scanner.

When I check the log I have this :

sudo tail -f /var/log/gvm/gvmd.log

In the report of the scan, I have also 2 errors that occured :
‘Could not connect to Scanner’
‘Interrupting scan because GVM is exiting.’

I don’t know if it’s linked or related, but the different feed are in status “update in progress” since the installation of GSA and I tried different commands that I found on other topics :

‘greenbone-nvt-sync’
gvmd --get-users --verbose
gvmd --modify-setting 78eceaec-3385-11ea-b237-28d24461215b --value <uuid_of_user>

I also tried this :

AS GVM USER

‘gvmd --get-scanners’
‘gvmd --get-users --verbose’
‘gvmd --modify-scanner [scanner id] --value [user id]’

I also tried to re-running the different sync :

‘greenbone-feed-sync --type GVMD_DATA’
‘greenbone-feed-sync --type SCAP’
‘greenbone-feed-sync --type CERT’

But the status stays at “update in progress”.

Do you have any ideas about this problem please ?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Hi @flare,

Please wait until the update status changes. It can take a while I recently supported someone with similar issue and only after 17h the update finished and the problem was solved, but for sure the time depends on many things, the memory size, etc, just be patient, and after that if the problem persists, you can look for another solutions.

Best

From my experience, is useful to do a scanner verification.
