Testing notifications

To check whether event notifications are sent, the application uses the notification of the EICAR test virus detection on client devices.

To verify sending of event notifications:

1. Stop the real-time file system protection task on a client device and copy the EICAR test virus to that client device. Then, re-enable real-time protection of the file system.
2. Run a scan task for client devices in an administration group or for specific devices, including one with the EICAR test virus.

   If the scan task is configured correctly, the test virus will be detected. If notifications are configured correctly, you are notified that a virus has been detected.

To open a record of the test virus detection:

1. In the main menu, go to Monitoring & reporting → Event selections.
2. Click the Recent events selection name.

   In the window that opens, the notification about the test virus is displayed.

The EICAR test virus contains no code that can do harm to your device. However, most manufacturers' security applications identify this file as a virus. You can download the test virus from the official EICAR website.
