amount of memory when decompressed. The zero value means all archives are completely
decompressed, regardless of their compression rate. Default:
ArchiveMaxRatio 150
Archive
MaxCount
Number of files in an archive:
The archive scanning is limited to a given number of files within a recursion level. The
zero value means no limit is set. Default:
ArchiveMaxCount 0
MaxReports
PerFile
Limit the number of scanner alert messages:
The upper limit of messages that are issued per scanned file. Usually this only affects
archive scanning. This option can be used to prevent the scanner from Denial Of Service
attacks generated by crafted archives that otherwise would provoke millions of alerts. A
value of 0 means no limit is set.
MaxReportsPerFile 100
SendSNMPTraps
SNMP traps configuration:
SNMP traps can be used as a method to monitor the status of system and network
services. Both on-demand and on-access scanners support this protocol, sending SNMP
traps (simple text messages) to inform system monitoring tools about scanner’s current
status, license issues, virus alerts and update status. These messages are logged.
To enable SNMP traps:
SendSNMPTraps yes
Default: disabled (no).
SNMP
VerbosityLevel
To set the verbosity level of SNMP traps:
SNMPVerbosityLevel [notice|information|warning|error|alert|snmp]
Defines for which issues traps should be sent when files are scanned. Default: only snmp-
specific alerts and important status information are sent (snmp level):
SNMPVerbosityLevel snmp
Apart from snmp, it supports syslog levels. For example:
SNMPVerbosityLevel information
The following messages will be sent via snmp: messages with prio "information", "warn-
ing", "error", "alert" PLUS the snmp-specific messages.
SNMPRecipient
Specify a hostname or an IP address, to configure the recipient of SNMP traps:
SNMPRecipient <hostname | IP address>
Default: SNMPRecipient localhost
You can speed up the archive scanning process by adjusting the
settings manually:
ARCHIVE_MAX_RECURSION 1
ARCHIVE_MAX_COUNT 10
ARCHIVE_MAX_SIZE 1000KB
The reliability of the scan will not be affected.
The SNMPVerbosityLevel does not affect the syslog verbosity
and vice versa.
