General Settings

On this page you can manage the following parameters of SpIDer Guard on the protected station (file server):

Enable SpIDer Guard for Linux—enable or disable SpIDer Guard on the protected station.

Use heuristic analysis—define how SpIDer Guard uses the heuristic analysis on the protected station while scanning files “on-the-fly”. The heuristic analysis slows down scanning but improves its reliability.

Scanning time of one element—set a time limit for scanning one file by SpIDer Guard on the station. Allowed values: from 1 second to 1 hour. Default value: 30 seconds.

info

The SpIDer Guard file system monitor can operate in one of these two modes:

FANOTIFY—using the fanotify system mechanism (not all GNU/Linux OSes support this mode);

LKM—using the loadable Linux kernel module (compatible with any GNU/Linux OS with kernel 2.6.x and later).

By default, the file system monitor automatically chooses the appropriate operation mode according to the environment. If SpIDer Guard cannot be started, build and install the loadable kernel module on the protected station using the supplied source code.
