Configuring custom duplicate non-malicious file analysis using the CLI

Prev Next

Use the CLI commands in this topic to set or clear the amount of time between submissions of non-malicious files that the system will evaluate in order to identify a second submission as a duplicate non-malicious file. Setting a non-zero value for timeout will enable duplicate detection. Clearing the timeout will turn off the duplicate detection.

To enable duplicate non-malicious file detection and set timeout for duplicate non-malicious file analysis:
  1. Go to CLI configuration mode.

    hostname > enable
    hostname # configure terminal
  2. Specify the time span in hours for detecting duplicate non-malicious files.

    hostname (config) # analysis duplicate non-malicious file timeout <hours>
  3. Verify the configuration with "show analysis config" command.

    hostname (config) # show analysis config
    .....
    Non-malicious duplicate file timeout         : 8
    .....

    The "Non-malicious duplicate file timeout" line displays the set timeout for duplicate non-malicious file analysis.

Example

The following example will set the time interval for detecting duplicate non-malicious files to 8 hours:

hostname (config) # analysis duplicate non-malicious file timeout 8
To skip duplicate non-malicious file analysis:
  1. Go to CLI configuration mode.

    hostname > enable
    hostname # configure terminal
  2. Specify 0 timeout to turn off duplicate detection for non-malicious files.

    hostname (config) # analysis duplicate non-malicious file timeout 0

  3. Verify the configuration with "show analysis config" command.

    hostname (config) # show analysis config
    .....
    Non-malicious duplicate file timeout         : 0
    .....

    The "Non-malicious duplicate file timeout" line will display the set timeout as 0 for duplicate non-malicious file analysis.

Note

Setting timeout to 0 turns off duplicate non-malicious file checks.

Example

The following example will turn off detecting duplicate non-malicious files:

hostname (config) # analysis duplicate non-malicious file timeout 0
