Monitor the NAS Antivirus Service
If you have congured NAS antivirus, you can monitor which SMB shares are using the service.
1. Click NAS , expand NAS Clusters and Local Containers, and then select the NAS container name.
2. Click the SMB Shares tab.
3. In the Virus scanning column, determine which shares have virus scanning enabled or disabled.
NAS Directory Paths and File Types Scan
You can control what directory paths and le types are scanned across a cluster or on SMB shares as follows:
• Directory paths to exclude — Specied as a path such as /tmp/logs (alternatively, folders and subfolders)
• File types to exclude — Specied by le type (le extension)
To exclude directory paths and le types from antivirus scans across clusters and on SMB shares:
• Specify directory paths to exclude
• Specify le types to exclude
You can specify le type and path strings using the formats specied in Table 45. NAS Antivirus File and Directory Path Scanning
Specications.
Table 45. NAS Antivirus File and Directory Path Scanning Specications
