Interaction between Dr.Web Agent and Dr.Web Monitor

Dr.Web ICAPD can interact with Dr.Web Agent and Dr.Web Monitor.

Dr.Web ICAPD receives configuration and key file from Dr.Web Agent. Thus, if Dr.Web ICAPD is started under control of Dr.Web Agent, the Key parameter value from the drweb-icapd.ini configuration file is ignored. Instead of this, the path to the key file specified in Dr.Web Agent configuration (by default, %etc_dir/agent.conf file) is used.

Dr.Web ICAPD can send information on detected viruses to Dr.Web Agent (this process is managed by SendStat parameter in the drweb-icapd.ini configuration file).

Dr.Web Agent can send the received information to the Doctor Web website. For the purpose, specify md5 sum of the key file as the UUID parameter value in the agent.conf file.

You can view gathered statistics at http://stat.drweb.com/view/<md5sum>/, where <md5sum> is the value of the UUID parameter.

You can connect Dr.Web Agent on Dr.Web ICAPD startup by specifying a path to the Dr.Web Agent socket in -f command line parameter.

Moreover, Dr.Web Agent can automatically send addresses of infected Internet resources for analysis to Doctor Web, which allows to improve the operating quality.

Dr.Web Monitor allows to automate startup of Dr.Web ICAPD and control its operation. When starting Dr.Web ICAPD via Dr.Web Monitor, Dr.Web ICAPD automatically requests configuration from Dr.Web Agent. To start Dr.Web ICAPD via Dr.Web Monitor, add ICAPD value to RunAppList parameter of Dr.Web Monitor configuration file (by default, %etc_dir/monitor.conf) or specify ICAPD value in -r command line parameter on Dr.Web Monitor startup. The script for automatic Dr.Web ICAPD startup must be removed from the system paths, as the function to start and stop the component is now performed by Dr.Web Monitor.
