my reports for the last week all show a Severity 10 “Report outdated / end-of-life Scan Engine / Environment (local)”. I tried to set up an override as described in https://docs.greenbone.net/GSM-Manual/gos-21.04/en/reports.html#creating-an-override, but it seems to have no effect at all, so I think I probably misunderstand the settings:
Sorry, I still don’t get it. I have the override from the image above, and in a task config, I have ‘Apply Overrides’ set to yes like this for example:
The report for this scan still shows the Severity 10 “Report outdated / end-of-life Scan Engine / Environment (local)” warning for every scanned target, unless I use the filter settings in the web frontend like DeeAnn said.
The docs for task configuration say “Overrides can be directly applied when adding the results to the asset database”. Does that not mean the results would be changed so they should be visible without an additional filter setting?
Kind of. I configured filters now that use the overrides and set them as defaults for me in the web interface, so reports don’t show the stuff I don’t need to see. You can do that in “My settings”. It works like
Configure the override
Configure a filter of the appropriate type (e.g. Report) that uses the override
Set the filter in “My settings” as default for the type you used in the filter settings
I have no idea if that’s the correct way to do it, but it works for me
