Scanning Engine Settings

On this page you can manage settings used by the Scanning Engine auxiliary component on the protected station.

The following settings are available:

•Path to the socket file of the fixed copy of the component—a path to a UNIX socket file of a resident Scanning Engine instance. This socket can be used to scan files by external programs. If the parameter is empty, scanning files is unavailable to external programs, and Scanning Engine runs and terminates automatically, when necessary.

•Number of scanning processes—a number of child scanning processes that can be created by Scanning Engine while scanning files. When changing the value of this parameter, take into account the number of CPU cores available on the station.

•Watchdog timer—a time period used by Scanning Engine to automatically detect a hang-up of child scanning processes.

•Log level—a log verbosity level used for Scanning Engine message logging.

•Logging method—a logging method for Scanning Engine. The following values are allowed:

▫Auto—use logging parameters defined for all components in Dr.Web ConfigD settings.

▫Syslog—use the syslog system service for Scanning Engine message logging. If you choose this method, you must also specify a value of the Syslog facility parameter in the drop-down list. This parameter defines a subsystem (label) to be used by syslog to store messages from Scanning Engine.

▫Path—use a separate file to store Scanning Engine log messages. If you choose this method, you must also specify a path to the file in the Log file field.
