How configure real-time scanning for Elements Linux Protection?
Last updated
Issue:
Elements Linux Protection real-time scanning doesn't detect an eicar file (it does not rename it).
However, if use "/opt/f-secure/linuxsecurity/bin/fsanalyze" to manually scan the file, it will be detected/renamed (.malware extension is added) correctly.
How to configure real-time scanning for Elements Linux Protection?
Resolution:
Elements Linux Protection by default has real-time scanning enabled in the Elements configuration profile, but the Files and folders to scan is by default empty. This means that to have real-time scanning to scan objects, you need to add the folders you want to have included in real-time scanning in the profile:
- Log in to Elements Security Center portal
- Navigate to the Security configurations > Profiles
- Go to the For Linux tab
- Open the profile that used by the device
- Go to the Real-time scanning settings page
- Under Files and folders to scan, click Add path
- Insert the file/folder path that need to be scanned by real-time scanning
- If you want to have everything scanned, use "/"
- Click Save profile
