I was able to get the scanner to start again after finding this article. Hint: Redis setup / configuration for GSE/GVM/OpenVAS. I performed the steps under the section titled “Scanner / openvassd startup is timing out”. It only worked by doing the optional step of “Flush your redis database (Depending on your setup, e.g. redis-cli -s /var/run/redis/redis.sock flushall )”, however.
