Parameters

None

Output fields

The following table describes the output fields for the show mvx status command.

Field

Description

Sensor Config Enabled (Network Security only)

Whether the appliance is enabled as a sensor.

Current Operating Mode

Current operating mode:

  • sensor—The appliance sends all submissions to an MVX cluster for inspection and analysis.

  • hybrid—The appliance sends submissions to an MVX cluster, but only when a predefined capacity threshold is reached.

  • integrated—The appliance uses its own analysis engine for all inspection and analysis.

Mode Reboot Required (Network Security only)

Whether you need to reload the appliance after changing the operating mode for the change to take effect.

Submission Interface

Name of the interface used for communication between the sensor or hybrid appliance and broker.

Modes Supported

Operating mode for this appliance:

  • mvx configurable—The appliance has an on-board MVX analysis engine. It can operate in local mode (in which its on-board MVX engine performs the analysis). It can also operate in sensor mode (in which it submits objects to an MVX cluster instead of its on-board MVX engine), or in hybrid mode (in which it submits objects to an MVX cluster when predefined capacity thresholds are exceeded).

  • mvx sensor-only—The appliance has no MVX engine engine, and must submit objects to an MVX cluster for analysis.

  • mvx integrated-only—The appliance cannot submit objects to an MVX cluster and must use its on-board MVX engine for analysis.

Virtual Model

Whether this is a virtual appliance model.

Virtual System

Whether this is a virtual appliance software image.

WSAPI Current State

The state of the Web services API process (running or not running).

Submission Client (MVX_SC) ok

Whether the submission process is running and a description. For example:

  • Yes. Healthy.

  • No. Broker not configured.

  • No. Connection refused. Retrying.

  • No. Queues not configured.
