Disable automatic self-test scanning
If your client uses the ICAP or the RPC protocol, Symantec Protection Engine installs with a self-test scanning feature. Symantec Protection Engine performs a test every minute to check whether it is responsive and able to scan files. A test file is sent for Symantec Protection Engine to scan. If Symantec Protection Engine does not respond with a scan result before the timeout period expires, a Warning message is logged. Each self-test scan occurs 1 minute after the last self-test scan finishes.
Disable this feature if any of the following conditions apply:
- You do not want the automatic self-testing scanning events to be logged to the specified logging destinations.
- You configure Symantec Protection Engine to send alerts for Warning level events, but you do not want alerts about this event.
selfscantest settings lists the selfscantest settings.
