Hello,
My gvmd is having trouble communicating with the PostgreSQL database it seems. I have determined that the NVTs table exists with around ~63k entries. The database admin is correctly set to my user too.
However, as the image suggests, the SCAP database is not correctly generated. This is the gvmd log:
md manage: WARNING: 2021-03-05 15h23.05 utc:15584: split _xml_ file: system failed with ret 512, 1 (2), xml_split -s40Mb split.xml && head -n 2 split-00.xml > head.xml && echo '</cpe-list>' > tail.xml && for F in split-*.xml; do awk 'NR>3 {print last} {last=$0}' $F > body .xml && cat head.xml body.xml tail.xml > $F; done

It goes on like this forever, there are hundreds of lines in the log from 10am, when the service was first started.
I also took a look at the log’s head and found this:
sql_exec_internal: PQexec failed: ERROR: relation "public.meta" does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT value FROM public.meta WHERE name = 'database_version...
Any clues on how I may debug this?
Thanks in advance
