Doc Text:
*OpenSCAP* now produces only useful messages and warnings Previously, default scan output settings have been changed, and debug messages were also printed to standard output. As a consequence, the *OpenSCAP* output was full of errors and warnings. The output was hard to read and the *SCAP Workbench* was unable to handle those messages, too. With this update, the change of default output setting has been reverted, and *OpenSCAP* now produces useful output.

Description Marek Haicman 2017-05-02 12:58:09 UTC
Created attachment 1275678 [details]
example full of such errors

Description of problem:
When performing scanning with --progress flag, errors and warnings are printed in such way it breaks the output.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openscap-1.2.14-1.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
reliably

Steps to Reproduce:
1. scan machine with some more complex profile
2.
3.

Actual results:

xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_aide_build_database:W: oscap:     Referenced variable has no values (oval:ssg-variable_aide_build_new_database_absolute_path:var:1).
W: oscap:     Referenced variable has no values (oval:ssg-variable_aide_operational_database_absolute_path:var:1)
fail

xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_mount_option_noexec_removable_partitions:W: oscap: Skipping external variable oval:ssg-var_removable_partition:var:1.
pass

xccdf_org.ssgproject.content_rule_selinux_confinement_of_daemons:E: probe_selinuxsecuritycontext: Can't get context for /proc/2/exe: No such file or directory
E: probe_selinuxsecuritycontext: Can't get context for /proc/3/exe: No such file or directory
...
E: probe_selinuxsecuritycontext: Can't get context for /proc/9142/exe: No such file or directory
pass



Expected results:
If warnings and errors needs to be printed, put it after the first line containing a result

Comment 3 Martin Preisler 2017-05-19 09:47:19 UTC
If you redirect stderr it will clean up the output, correct?

oscap xccdf eval --progress ...... 2>/dev/null

Regardless, I think we should revert this in RHEL 7.4 and give ourselves more time to recategorize some of the messages.
