        OK: _gvm owns all files in /var/lib/openvas/gnupg
        OK: redis-server is present.
        OK: scanner (db_address setting) is configured properly using the redis-server socket: /var/run/redis-openvas/redis-server.sock
        ERROR: redis-server is not running or not listening on socket: /var/run/redis-openvas/redis-server.sock
