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
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 then 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
External
Program
Starting External Programs When Suspicious Files Are Found:
The CLS can start an external program when a virus or an unwanted program is found.
This can send a notification or perform an action using certain options.
It is possible to send an SMS, to call the appointed responsible person, to show a dialog
window on the local screen or on another computer, to save the data in another format or
another file.
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.
Please use this feature with extreme caution! Check your external
programs for correctness and keep in mind, that an attacker might
use crafted file names (containing spaces, commands, etc.) for
injecting arguments into your external program.
