Configuring the On-demand Scan task

Scan exclusions

You can define scan exclusions for on-demand ODS and ContainerScan tasks. You can configure this in the same way as scan exclusions for the File Threat Protection task.

Scan exclusion settings for one scan task do not affect other scan tasks. Exclusions must be configured separately for each scan task.

Setting the memory usage limits when unpacking archives

The on-demand scan task uses RAM to unpack archives when scanning the archives recursively. By default, the application's limit is 40% of all available RAM, but not less than 2 GB. Therefore, if the system has more than 5 GB of RAM, you can manually set the memory usage limit. This is especially useful for the servers that have hundreds of gigabytes of RAM.
