Measures reported by VirusScannerTest

A storage system can suffer performance setbacks or slowdowns if virus scanners detect malicious virus attacks on the system or if virus scanners are unable to access the system to run virus checks. This test promptly captures such failure events and intimates administrators of the same.

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Num_messages Indicates the number of virus scanner related events that were captured during the last measurement period. Number The events may be generated due to the detection of virus in the storage system or the loss of connection between the virus scanner and the storage system.

Ideally, the value of this measure should be zero. A high value is an indication of performance degradation of the storage system.

The detailed diagnosis capability, if enabled provides you with a more detailed information about the virus scanner related events that were captured by this measure.
