I run openvas in docker,and the status is ready. I want to know why I start scans is error? Where should I find the method to fix it? Thanks a lot!

Hi @xytnba Could you please give us the scan policy used (kkk) ?

[xytnba]

@MaKyOtOx I followed the policy by your example. Is that right? By the way , I think it maybe wrong at the part of OMP or gsa. Thanks!

same issue here. did you find a workaround ?

Bump. Same issue. Workarounds?

Figured this out on my part. Patrowl doesn't spin up openvas. You have to go into the configs and edit the openvas operator to actually target your openvas scan host so that it can then make/get API calls to/from the scanner to start getting results.

Their documentation, AFAIK?, doesn't explain all that.
