Stoyan Dimov 0 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Hi all, I am evaluating ESET Server Security for Linux. I get much better performance with cls (3.5s) that with odscan (25s) while scanning the same set of files. On another system I am evaluating ESET EndPoint Protection for Linux. It doesn't have cls so i cannot compare but odscan takes less than a second. I've created new profiles on both hosts and I think they are the same. Any idea why odscan on the host running ESET Server Security for Linux might be so slow? Regards, Stoyan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,406 Posted April 11, 2022 Administrators Share Posted April 11, 2022 What parameters did you use for the cls scan? For instance, it's possible to disable scanning archives which would speed up the scan. Generally sice cls doesn't support Smart optimization, a scan should be always slower compared to running odscan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoyan Dimov 0 Posted April 11, 2022 Author Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) Hi Marcos, Thanks for your reply. cls is working more or less as expected. The issue is odscan performance. I expected it to be faster than cls but odscan command take more than 7 times longer than cls to scan the same set of files (1.1MB total). Something I forgot to mention: Report in the GUI says that odscan task completed in a second but actual command on the system takes 25+ seconds. cls command around 3 seconds. Here is the output of the commands: # time /opt/eset/efs/sbin/cls/cls virus ECLS Command-line scanner, version 1.1.1.0, Copyright © 1992-2022 ESET, spol. s r. o. All rights reserved.
