For reference, I found out the root cause of the problem.
1) The server certificate has expired
2) Seems like redis was hanged
Re-generating the certificates and flushing/restarting redis did the
trick.
But there was absolutely NO logs at all despite openvasmd running in
verbose mode....not even a single clue ! How come the logging facility
of OpenVAS is so useless ?!On Mon, 2018-10-08 at 10:17 +0200, tatooin wrote:
