File Checker Settings

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

The following settings are available:

Maximum checked file cache size—a size of the cache used by File Checker to temporarily store file scan results.

Cache validity period—a time period during which File Checker does not rescan files, if scan results are already available in the cache.

Log level—a log verbosity level used for File Checker message logging.

Logging method—a logging method for File Checker. 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 File Checker 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 File Checker.

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

Moreover, you can choose which additional data will be stored in the log at the Debug verbosity level.

IPC—log all inter-process communication (IPC) messages on component interaction.

File scanning—log info about file scans.

SpIDer Guard file monitoring—log SpIDer Guard scan requests.

Checked file cache status—log status information about the cache for scanned files.
