Antivirus metrics
If the Antivirus Scanning plugin is activated, Antivirus Scanning runs in your instance to help protect it against virus infections from attachments.
The following metrics appear for the last 60 days of activity, and enable you to assess the effectiveness of the Antivirus Scanning functions.
Antivirus Events
Antivirus Events indicate the number of antivirus events in your instance, by date. To access
the antivirus events, navigate to and select the Metrics tab. Color coded graph lines represent the following
types of antivirus events:
| Color | Description |
|---|---|
| Blue | Number of files quarantined by Antivirus Scanning in this instance for the indicated date. |
| Green | Number of infected files downloaded to the instance, and then quarantined for the indicated date. These files are primarily email attachments that contain a virus or rouge code. |
| Yellow | Number of quarantined files in the instance that were deleted for the indicated date. |
| Orange | Number of quarantined files in the instance that were restored for the indicated
date. Remarque : After Antivirus Scanning runs and finds any false positives, you
can restore a quarantined file and make it accessible in the instance. |
