Performance reports

[aretsmarvin]

Hi,

Everything seems to work. I can perform security scans like I used too. But one thing that doesn't work (like in the VM provided by Greenbone) is performance reports. They are empty... Why?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Humm, I'm afraid I don't know why that would be. It's not something that I've used. There was an issue mentioned in the comments of the how-to ( https://kifarunix.com/install-and-setup-gvm-11-on-ubuntu-20-04/) about empty pdf reports that mentioned a missing xsltproc but I added that in to one of the apt-get statements in the script. I'm not sure if xsltproc is used for the performance report but it might be worth checking if it's installed on your system and possibly doing a 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xsltproc' on it to see if that has any effect. kev.

Generating a PDF report of 5 results takes a while (I don't know if that is normal, never did that before). But the report is not empty (so the package should be fine).
I did a dpkg-reconfigure, but that doesn't give success for this issue.

So, if someone knows how to help, let me know 👍

Any other ways of viewing memory usage for OpenVAS is also fine. I just wanted to see if it's using the fully 8GB of the VM (because I think he doesn't). When checking with "free" it shows up a lot of free memory on the machine. Doe the source edition take it's memory automagically, or do you need to assign it and/or is there a limit? (The same question also about CPU power).
EDIT:
I pulled up the concurrent NVT's and hosts for a task and I see the memory increasing. So that seems good. Still don't know if it is limited to 4GB (like in the Community edition)?

Ya, I don't know how it's dealing with memory management. I tend to think it's more a question for the OpenVAS folks than us here though. I could be wrong--perhaps there's some flag that the script can pass when compiling its parts, but I don't know what that would be.

Got the same issue ; quote From the forum (16 days ago) : I can confirm that the performance page fallback report is currently defect. We will fix that. Additionally I just had a quick look at the INSTALL.md file of gvmd and it contains some hints on how to implement a system report https://github.com/greenbone/gvmd/blob/master/INSTALL.md#prerequisites-for-optional-features 5
