OpenVAS Feed Status: How to check the automatic synchronization

openvas

I've just installed OpenVAS … however when I checked on Feed Status, I found that OpenVAS CERT Feed is too old as shown in the screenshot below.

Too old (14 days) – Please check the automatic synchronization of your system

The solution suggested was to check automatic synchronization in the system. Unfortunately I was not sure how to do that.

I've searched around but couldn't find similar problem. So I guess posting the question here might be helpful.

To get updated content from the feeds you need to run the following scripts (in this order) on a daily base via e.g. cron:

greenbone-nvt-sync

greenbone-scapdata-sync

greenbone-certdata-sync

If there is any issue during the sync the scripts should give you additional info.
