error --> create "" failed (fetches failed) latest_version - failed converting about argus

okkkkk. it worked. thank you so much.

[JosephKav]

it says that it failed converting "X" to a semantic version. If all versions are in this style, consider adding url_commands to get the version into the style of 'MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH' (https://semver.org/), or disabling semantic versioning (globally with defaults.service.semantic_versioning or just for this service with the semantic_versioning var)

It doesn't look like you have that regex in a url_command as I get a variation of that message on a query with only that URL. It's failing without that as it's trying to put the whole page content as the version. But HTML isn't a version number, so it fails the semantic version check

[prince20112003]

thanks for the quick response. but can you explain a bit in depth?

[JosephKav]

You've got it querying that URL to get a version number. You can add url_commands to extract specific text from that page, e.g. RegEx.
I don't know what version you want, but if you wanted the GMP version, you could add a url_command with RegEx GMP.*Version ([\d.]+)

  Greenbone:
    options:
      semantic_versioning: false
    latest_version:
      type: url
      url: https://www.greenbone.net/en/documents/
      url_commands:
        - type: regex
          regex: GMP.*Version ([\d.]+)

If you just want the 22.04 version, you could go with Greenbone OS ([\d.]+) as the regex

[prince20112003]

not working. i got this error. create "" failed (fetches failed)
latest_version - regex "regex" not matched on content for version.

[JosephKav]

What is your YAML? And I noticed you opened an issue in greenbone/actions#1019. I'd say to close that one as it's an issue you're experiencing with Argus

[JosephKav]

This is all you'd need on the WebUI

You're putting the regex inside the Require block. That's more for adding other things that are required before you treat the version as available. e.g. if you monitored release-argus/Argus, you could add RegEx Content of Argus-{{ version }}.linux-arm64. This would require that binary to be available on the GitHub release.

Add a URL Command by pressing the + above the Require card (and remove both the 'RegEx Content' and 'RegEx Version'

---

This require block more helps you filter out versions that don't meet extra criteria (such as having an arm release for example). So if the page had multiple versions, Argus is able to return the latest version that satisfies this extra RegEx
