Measurement
Unit |
Interpretation |
| Scan_queue_length |
The number of requests that are currently queued for virus scanning |
Number |
An excessive value for this metric could result in slowdown of mail delivery |
| Files_cleaned |
The percentage of all files scanned during the last measurement period that required to be cleaned |
Percent |
|
| Files_quarantined |
The percentage of all files scanned during the last measurement period that required to be quarantined |
Percent |
|
| Messages_cleaned |
The percentage of messages scanned during the last measurement period that required to be cleaned |
Percent |
|
| Messages_quarantined |
The percentage of all messages scanned during the last measurement period that required to be quarantined |
Percent |
|
| File_clean_rate |
The rate at which separate files were cleaned by virus scanner during the last measurement period |
Files/Sec |
|
| File_scan_rate |
The rate at which separate files are processed by virus scanner during the last measurement period |
Files/Sec |
A very low scan rate could result in over-crowded scan queues, which would eventually slowdown mail delivery. |
| File_quarantine_rate |
The rate at which separate files were marked to be quarantined by virus scanner during the last measurement period |
Files/Sec |
|
| Msgs_clean_rate |
The rate at which top-level messages were cleaned by virus scanner during the last measurement period |
Msgs/Sec |
|
| Msgs_process_rate |
The rate at which top-level messages were processed by virus scanner during the last measurement period |
Msgs/Sec |
Ideally, messages should be quickly processed by the virus scanner. Any dip in this rate is a cause for concern, as it would lengthen scan queues and ultimately delay mail delivery. |
| Msgs_quarantine_rate |
The rate at which top-level messages were put into quarantine by virus scanner during the last measurement period |
Msgs/Sec |
