Display List of Scanners - OpenVAS

[karnamonkster]

Hi,

I am running a GVMD version 21.4.5 (Source install) PatrowlManager - 1.8.4 Community Edition PatrowlEngine - 1.5.3

I am able to scan with the default OpenVAS scanner, however I have multiple satellite scanners which are integrated to the GVMD (say its a Master). I need to know if on Patrowl - while starting a scan, can I get the list of scanners from GVMD ? similar to running a command gvmd --get-scanners

Would be great to have this sorted :)

Wondering how to use this code for getting scanners - from engine-openvas.py

def get_scanners(name=None):
    """Return the list of scanners' ID."""
    scanners_list = []
    connection = TLSConnection(
        hostname=engine.scanner["options"]["gmp_host"]["value"],
        port=engine.scanner["options"]["gmp_port"]["value"],
        timeout=int(engine.scanner["options"].get("timeout", DEFAULT_TIMEOUT))
    )
    with Gmp(connection) as gmp_cnx:
        gmp_cnx.authenticate(
            engine.scanner["options"]["gmp_username"]["value"],
            engine.scanner["options"]["gmp_password"]["value"])
        scanners_xml = gmp_cnx.get_scanners()
        try:
            scanners = ET.fromstring(scanners_xml)
        except Exception:
            return None
        if not scanners.get("status") == "200":
            return None

        for scanner in scanners.findall("scanner"):
            if name is not None:
                if name == scanner.find('name').text:
                    return [scanner.get("id")]
            else:
                scanners_list.append(scanner.get("id"))

    connection.disconnect()
    return scanners_list
