<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I’ll add to Steve’s point that if there is not current OVAL support for the constructs you need, then the new OVAL tests/objects/states/items would need to be created
in either a new OVAL schema or (more likely) as additions to the existing Linux schema. Once created a proposal can be made to the OVAL language team through an issue and pull request to the official
<a href="https://github.com/OVAL-Community/OVAL">OVAL Language GitHub</a>. The newly released proposal process can be found
<a href="https://oval-community-guidelines.readthedocs.io/en/latest/proposal-process/index.html">
here</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Once proposed, the OVAL community can provide feedback and implementations to prove the concept and progress the proposal along towards adoption. Ultimately, the
area supervisor for the Linux schemas will need to be involved as well. The supervisor for Linux is currently Simon Lukasik.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I’m happy to help out with any schema development, and potential implementation of proposed updates as well (although I’ll freely admit negligible knowledge of
OpenShift). The language governance, proposal and adoption process are all recently “released” so if you find yourself needing help with the process, don’t hesitate to reach out.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br>
OK. I think we are mismatching terminology here. OVAL defines tests<br>
and states. OpnSCAP, an implementation, chooses to convert the<br>
required test into a probe. This is an implementation detail.<br>
<br>
So, the first thing is, do we need a new OVAL test? If so, why does no<br>
other test currently work? What is the file format? You will need to<br>
state this to someone that is on the OVAL editorial board. They will<br>
need to propose the changes to the language and get it reviewed<br>
and approved. This could take a little time.<br>
