Refer to the following considerations before changing the capacity of maximum simultaneous file scan and customized attacks for all NS-series Sensor models.
Note for Advanced Malware - Maximum simultaneous file scan
This feature is not the same as the file saving feature that is enabled through the Save File checkbox in the Advanced Malware Policies page of the Manager. It mentions the aspect of file saving that occurs temporarily within the Sensor during analysis. If the analysis result matches the severity configured in the Manager, the file is sent to the Manager to be saved.
Different outcomes based on your file saving configuration in the Advanced Malware Policies page are as follows:
If you have set the Save File to Disable in the Advanced Malware Policies page, the scanned files are not sent to the Manager.
If you have set the Save File to Always, all the scanned files are sent to the Manager to be archived. Before using this option ensure that you have adequate disk space.
If you have set a severity for Save File, the scanned files are saved in the Sensor so that they can be analyzed by internal scanning engines like the PDF- JavaScript Engine. Once the analysis is complete and if the result is same or higher than the severity set then the file is sent to the Manager. When the Manager receives the file then it is saved in the Manager for future analysis by a security administrator.
