Re: Alarm for big files

Hello!

You can use the clamscan --alert-exceeds-max command-line flag or the AlertExceedsMax setting in the clamd.conf file.  It will also alert on other limits, however. E.g. max-scantime, max-filesize, and more.

Does this help?

Respectfully,
Val

Subject: [clamav-users] Alarm for big files


Hello, is there a way to run an alarm when a file is bigger than the value of max-filesize?

Thanks in advance ?
