5 Data Type Details

5.1 Data Type `alive_test`

In short: An alive test.

5.1.1 RNC

alive_test = xsd:token { pattern = "ICMP, TCP Service & ARP Ping|TCP Service & ARP Ping|I↵
CMP & ARP Ping|ICMP & TCP Service Ping|ARP Ping|TCP Service Ping|ICMP Ping|S↵
can Config Default" }

5.2 Data Type `base64`

In short: Base64 encoded data.

5.2.1 RNC

base64 = xsd:base64Binary

5.3 Data Type `boolean`

In short: A true or false value.

Zero is false, anything else is true. As a result, the empty string is considered true.

5.3.1 RNC

boolean = text

5.4 Data Type `boolean_atoi`

In short: A true or false value, after conversion to an integer.

Zero is false, anything else is true. The value is first converted to an integer, as by the C `atoi' routine. This means that an empty string is considered false.

5.4.1 RNC

boolean_atoi = text

5.5 Data Type `ctime`

In short: A date and time, in the C `ctime' format.

An example string in this format is "Wed Jun 30 21:49:08 1993\n".

5.5.1 RNC

ctime = text

5.6 Data Type `type_name`

In short: A name of a data type.

5.6.1 RNC

type_name = xsd:Name

5.7 Data Type `integer`

In short: An integer.

5.7.1 RNC

integer = xsd:integer

5.8 Data Type `iso_time`

In short: A date and time, in ISO 8601 format.

An example string in this format is "2011-11-08T19:57:06+02:00".

5.8.1 RNC

iso_time = text

5.9 Data Type `levels`

In short: A string that may include the characters h, m, l, g and d.

5.9.1 RNC

levels = xsd:token { pattern = "h?m?l?g?d?" }

5.10 Data Type `name`

In short: A name.

Typically this is the name of one of the manager resources, like a task or target.

5.10.1 RNC

name = xsd:string

5.11 Data Type `port`

In short: A port.

5.11.1 RNC

port = xsd:token { pattern = "[0-9]{1,5}" }

5.12 Data Type `user_list`

In short: A space separated list of users.

5.12.1 RNC

user_list = text

5.13 Data Type `oid`

In short: An Object Identifier (OID).

5.13.1 RNC

oid = xsd:token { pattern = "[0-9\.]{1,80}" }

5.14 Data Type `severity`

In short: A severity score.

A severity score is a decimal number between 0.0 and 10.0 (inclusive) with one digit after the decimal point or a special negative value (-1.0, -2.0 or -3.0). If a single severity score defines a constraint, e.g. on whether an override applies, for values 0.0 and lower the severity must be equal to match while for > 0.0 the compared value must be greater or equal.

5.14.1 RNC

severity = xsd:token { pattern = "-[1-3](\.0)?|[0-9](\.[0-9])?|10(\.0)?" }

5.15 Data Type `sort_order`

In short: A string describing an order for sorting.

The string "descending" denotes descending order, anything else means ascending.

5.15.1 RNC

sort_order = text

5.16 Data Type `status`

In short: The success or failure status of a command.

5.16.1 RNC

status = xsd:token { pattern = "200|201|202|400|401|403|404|409|500|503" }

5.17 Data Type `task_status`

In short: A task run status.

5.17.1 RNC

task_status = xsd:token { pattern = "Delete Requested|Done|New|Pause Requested|Paused|Requ↵
ested|Resume Requested|Running|Stop Requested|Stopped|Internal Error" }

5.18 Data Type `task_trend`

In short: The trend of results for a task.

5.18.1 RNC

task_trend = xsd:token { pattern = "up|down|more|less|same" }

5.19 Data Type `threat`

In short: A threat level.

Threat levels are a textual classification of severity scores only supported for importing reports from OpenVAS-6 and older. The use of these elements is deprecated as they are otherwise replaced by severity elements, which should be used instead.

5.19.1 RNC

threat = xsd:token { pattern = "High|Medium|Low|Alarm|Log|Debug" }

5.20 Data Type `time_unit`

In short: A unit of time.

5.20.1 RNC

time_unit = xsd:token { pattern = "second|minute|hour|day|week|month|year|decade" }

5.21 Data Type `uuid`

In short: A Universally Unique Identifier (UUID).

5.21.1 RNC

uuid = xsd:token { pattern = "[0-9abcdefABCDEF\-]{1,40}" }

5.22 Data Type `uuid_or_empty`

In short: A Universally Unique Identifier (UUID), or the empty string.

5.22.1 RNC

uuid_or_empty = xsd:token { pattern = "[0-9abcdefABCDEF\-]{0,40}" }

7.56 Command `get_nvts`

In short: Get all NVTs.

The client uses the get_nvts command to get NVT information.

This command may always include a details flag, a config, a sort order and a sort field. If the command includes a details flag, the manager also consults the timeout, preference_count and preferences flags.

The NVT OID, family name and config attributes limit the listing to a single NVT or all NVTs in a particular family and/or config.

If the details flag is present the manager will send full details of the NVT, otherwise it will send just the NVT name and checksum.

With the preferences flag the manager includes in the listing, the values of each listed NVT's preferences for the given config. The timeout flag does the same for the special timeout preference. If the config contains no values for a preference, the default value of the preference is returned. The same applies if no config is given.

If the manager possesses an NVT collection, it will reply with the NVT information. If the manager cannot access a list of available NVTs at that time, it will reply with the 503 response.

7.62 Command `get_preferences`

In short: Get all preferences.

The client uses the get_preferences command to get preference information. If the command sent by the client was valid, the manager will reply with a list of preferences to the client. If the manager cannot access a list of available NVTs at present, it will reply with the 503 response.

When the command includes a config_id attribute, the preference element includes the preference name, type and value, and the NVT to which the preference applies. Otherwise, the preference element includes just the name and value, with the NVT and type built into the name.

7.81 Command `modify_config`

In short: Modify an existing config.

This command can take five forms: with a preference, with a family selection, with an NVT selection, or with a name or comment.

The first form modifies a preference on the config. If the preference includes an NVT, then the preference is an NVT preference, otherwise the preference is a scanner preference. If the preference includes a value then the manager updates the value of the preference, otherwise the manager removes the preference. The value must be base64 encoded.

The second form, with a family selection, lets the client modify the NVTs selected by the config at a family level. The idea is that the client modifies the entire family selection at once, so a client will often need to include many families in a family selection.

The family_selection may include a growing element to indicate whether new families should be added to the selection. It may also include any number of family elements.

A family element must always include a name and may include a growing element and an all element. The all element indicates whether all NVTs in the family should be selected. The growing element indicates whether new NVTs in the family should be added to the selection as they arrive. Leaving a family out of the family_selection is equivalent to including the family with all 0 and growing 0.

The effect of the all 0 and growing 0 case is subtle: if all NVTs were selected then all are removed (effectively removing the family from the config). However if some NVTs were selected then they remain selected. As a result the client must include in the family_selection all families that must have all NVTs selected.

The third option, an NVT selection, must include a family and may include any number of NVTs. The manager updates the given family in the config to include only the given NVTs.

If there was no error with the command sent by the client, the manager will apply the changes to the config and will reply with a response code indicating success.

8 Compatibility Changes in Version 5.0

8.1 Change in `GET_FILTERS, CREATE_FILTER, MODIFY_FILTER`

In short: Filter type "report" is now "result".

The filter type "report" has been renamed to "result". Filters of this type apply to the results in a report, as used for example on the GSA "Report: Results" page.

The name "report" is now used for a new filter type. This filter type applies to lists of reports, as used for example on the GSA "Reports" page.

8.2 Change in `CREATE_USER, MODIFY_USER`

In short: ROLE is identified by "id" attribute.

In OMP 4.0 these commands were served by OpenVAS Administrator.

The attribute "id" is now used to specify a user's role, in the ROLE element. Previously this was done using the NAME element inside ROLE.

8.3 Change in `GET_USERS`

In short: Attributes name and sort_order removed.

In OMP 4.0 this command was served by OpenVAS Administrator.

The attributes name and sort_order have been remove from the GET_USERS in OpenVAS Manager. Equivalent functionality is available using filters (with the filter and filt_id attributes).

8.4 Change in `GET_USERS`

In short: ROLE is optional, and role name has moved into NAME.

In OMP 4.0 this command was served by OpenVAS Administrator.

With the new role management, zero or more ROLEs may be present in USER. The name of the role is now in ROLE/NAME instead of directly in the text of ROLE.

8.5 Change in `GET_NVTS`

In short: Fingerprint element removed.

The fingerprint element has been removed as signature keys aren't sent by the scanner anymore and thus, aren't stored in Manager DB anymore.

8.6 Change in `GET_DEPENDENCIES`

In short: Command removed.

The command GET_DEPENDENCIES has been removed.

8.7 Change in `MODIFY_TARGET`

In short: Missing elements now leave the associate target property alone.

MODIFY_TARGET now allows the user to modify one or more of the Target elements in a single command, instead of requiring all elements to be modified at once.

As a side effect of this, leaving out an element will no longer set the associated target value to a default, but will leave the associated target value untouched. For example, if SSH_LSC_CREDENTIAL is omitted from the MODIFY_TARGET command, the command will no longer reset the SSH credential of the target, but will leave the target's current SSH credential intact.

This file was automatically generated.
