OpenVAS hostnames are not listed in Asset Management

[Ryan Jones]

Hello,

I've got an openvas installation on centos 6.5. I've scanned the vlan on
which this server resides, and have gotten only one hostname back, from an
alfresco ubuntu server that has cifs enabled. I found in the results table
in the sqlite3 database, that it was found through the netbios name.

I've monitored our dns server, and I can see the openvas server performing
reverse DNS lookups successfully. What's more, in the results table in
tasks.db, I can see Nikto scans that have fqdn for various servers.

For whatever reason, in Greenbone, these hostnames are not displayed, or
are not available. I can't see anything useful in the openvassd.log, .dump,
or openvasmd.log files.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ryan

if you open the host details via the asset management for one of those
hosts, do you see more details in the section "Host Identification"?
