This version is wrapping up the conversion of important scheduled events into 17(❗) Plugins. Now you can adjust schedules for database cleanup, vendor DB updates, or Internet IP scans. And you can configure network types. 🥳
I also managed to include a couple of docs, such as the GMX SMTP guide or the webhook signatures docs by @nimec01.
Lastly, I played around and drafted an experimental 🧪 on server HW install script.
I can now hopefully focus on some open feature requests and have a closer look at the notification system.
Note
There is a schedule for each scan, including the internet scan. These schedules should be set to the same value if you want them to be reported in the same result (otherwise you get false device down messages). Check your settings on your scans. The internet scan (INTRNT_RUN_SCHD) is performed every 5 minutes by default (*/5 * * * *). Set the same schedule value on all scans (<plugin>_RUN_SCHD) if you want them reported in the same run. More info in #462
Super grateful to @sky4055 and @jordantrizz for their sponsorship 🙏
⏳ Current Sponsorship Goal: Dedicate one full workday a week to this project.
