Environment
Question
What path should be excluded from anti-virus (AV) applications running on EDR Servers?
Answer
Exclude the data directories on EDR servers (primary and secondary nodes in a cluster). To confirm the directory run this command in terminal:
grep DatastoreRootDir /etc/cb/cb.conf
Default directory:
/var/cb/data
Additional Notes
- Make sure to use the directory set in cb.conf. At cbinit the data directory might have been changed
- Exclusions are necessary to avoid degradation in performance
- Exclusions also avoid corruption of the Postgres and Solr databases
- If performance degradation is seen in the environment, disabling the AV application should be the first attempt in troubleshooting
