    Posted Jun 24, 2015 11:20 AM

    Hello !!

    I've just installed the SAV on 3 Linux systems. product info 1.0.13.16. While doing the manul scan i see the the CPU usage is go up to 100%. Is there anyway i can reduced the CPU usage? I found if i turn off rescan cache when new definations load will help to reduce it. Can you guys share me how to do it on Linux. i m using Linux 6.5 .

     

    Thanks

    Hi,

    SEP for linux is introducted in SEP 12.1 RU5 release, SEP 12.1 RU6 is the latest release & I would recommend to test with the latest release.

    Please check "Installation of SEP For Linux(12.1 Ru5) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux" Video

    Thanks Chetan !!

    Also i have a one more question. Do you now how to set the rule. I want run the scan with lower priority so that it doesn't hog too much CPU/memory resources. Help would be appreciated.

    I don't see anything specific to lower down the priority but you can customize options for administrator-defined scans (scheduled and on-demand scans) that run on Linux computers. You can also customize options for Auto-Protect as well.
