Hi list, I had a lot of people asking me how to check the age of the antivirus dat file via SNMP. It is only possible to do so if you can get som values to read via SNMP. Our mail system supports snmp, therefore it also supports snmp for values like the antivirusDATfile number. So you can read the DATfile and then you can also get the difference when it has changed or been updated, You can then setup a criteria to get an alarm/warning if it has not been changed since 48 hours. We get 4 different DATfiles to 4 differnet scanners, so if just one of them is updated = all good = then I do not get an alarm. So all in all it´s simply just to check if a value has not been changed for x hours. Best regards Thomas
