The operations team has asked if our scans can be more granular, following the logical organization of our networks, so that application clusters for example, can be identified. This simplifies addressing reports, or suspending scans for sensitive applications. This would be great, except that ea…

The summary is that you can use alerts to “daisy-chain” scan tasks one after the other.
Otherwise, python-gvm would be a good tool for advanced scheduling.
