fmps file config scan_delay

Prev Next

To specify the interval at which a continuous scan on the File Protect appliance checks file shares for newly added or modified files, use the fmps file config scan_delay command in configuration mode.

By default, "continuous" scans run on the appliance every three minutes. This command specifies a different interval or resets it to the default.

For more information, see the File Protect User Guide.

Important

Trellix strongly recommends that you configure a scan delay that is at least one minute to accommodate network latency issues with file system operations. Otherwise, a continuous scan could check files that are in the process of being modified.
