[Openvas-plugins] cpe and logs

[margaus M.]

Hello Team,

When do I have to build a cpe in my plugin? Does OpenVAS work with NIST
database or OpenVAS has its owns? Why is it that we have to build cpe and
where are they located?

I am trying to see the logs, so I am looking for "openvasd.nessages" file
but with no success. I don't have such file in OpenVAS. Why is that? How
can I do it?

Hope you can solve my doubts. Thank you

Regards!

see my commit an hour ago how to register and use CPEs within your NVTs:

https://lists.wald.intevation.org/pipermail/openvas-nvts-commits/2017-April/005904.html

As long as a CPE exists on https://nvd.nist.gov/products/cpe we're using
these.

As advised in one of my previous mails please use openvas-discuss to ask
questions not related to NVTs (plugins):
