Hello I am running into an issue with my GVM instance. Everytime I go to run a scan now it gives me the following error:

I have looked around on the forum and elsewhere and nothing has been able to fix the problem. This is a new issue as i was able to run a scan a couple of days ago and it worked fine. The redis server is running I checked via systemctl. When I connect to the redis-server.sock I do not have any keys in the GVM._globaldbindex.

┌──(root💀Kali)-[/var/run/redis-openvas]
└─# redis-cli -s /var/run/redis-openvas/redis-server.sock
redis /var/run/redis-openvas/redis-server.sock> Select 0
OK
redis /var/run/redis-openvas/redis-server.sock> Keys *

redis /var/run/redis-openvas/redis-server.sock> HGETALL GVM._GlobalDBIndex
(empty array)
redis /var/run/redis-openvas/redis-server.sock>

If anyone has any advice on how to correct this issue please let me know.

@Deusolim try syncing the feed. if that is not fixing the issue then reinstall packages?

Eero

Just wanted to update I tried syncing the feed and updating the feed. That feedback led me down another rabbit hole which eventually ended up with due to a kernel corruption the disk can not be read correctly. Meaning no new data ase can be opened synced or written thus I basically had to redo all of Kali.

Any solutions/advise to the above error?

A hint was given previously Scan Interupted at 0% (Kali) - Redis error not possible to set GVM._globaldbindex Error - #3 by Deusolim which is that there could be some disk corruptions not allowing to read from the disk.

No space left on the device could be another reason (just a guess because disk problems have been mentioned previously as a possible reason).

I ran into the same thing, but I found that this was happening because I did not wait for the feeds to complete first. One the feeds finished syncing it was fine
