- Should i use 128GB RAM or 256 GB RAM or 1 TB ram to fix these memory issues or the interruption of the scans or queued scans.
- There is not a proper documentation on why its getting stuck at queued state or possible reasons for it.
- After finishing 14 tasks out of 15 tasks, still the memory of ospd openvas is 2.35 GB, no reasons why it is so high and ther eis no scans running.
