Max_checks not effect in openvas 9

[john]

Hello Everyone,
I builded my openvas 9 from source.And i change max_checks from default to 1k in src/pluginlaunch.c.
when openvassd startup,the process reach 800, but it only load 15 plugins everytime,others do not load plugins.

$ lsof -c openvassd -t | wc -l
800

$ps aux | egrep -c plugins
15

any ideas?thank you very much.

Hi,

the settings in the openvass.conf are probably overwritten by the Maximum concurrently executed NVTs per host / Maximum concurrently scanned hosts configured when creating a Task.

Hi,
my mistake,i mean openvassd startup the number of processes from openvassd.conf,but only 15 hosts loaded plugins.when the discovery plugins finished, max nvts per host is 15.

Hi,

synscan.nasl is part of the ACT_SCANNER category where it is expected that only one VT of this category is executed at the same time.
