In this section:
•Applying Actions to Messages.
If Dr.Web for Linux is connected to the centralized protection server, you can view messages on state of the anti-virus network that are sent by the centralized protection server to the workstations. The anti-virus network administrator can use the tool to monitor the network state and important events of the centralized protection server.
|
The messages on the network status and the network events are sent to the workstation only if the anti-virus network administrator configures the corresponding setting on the centralized protection server Dr.Web for Linux is connected to. Otherwise, the messages cannot be viewed and the corresponding page is not displayed on the Dr.Web for Linux main window. |
The interface for viewing messages from the server is displayed on a separate page. To open this page, click 
on the navigation pane.
Figure 34. Centralized protection server messages page
For each message in the list, the following information is available:
•Name (address) of the workstation that is mentioned in the message.
•Message category.
•Message title (subject).
•Date and time that the message was sent by the server.
To view the message, select it from the list. The selected message body is shown on the pane under the message list. Unread messages are shown in bold.
|
The messages text about the status and events of the anti-virus network is in the language that is specified in the centralized protection server settings. |
To apply an action to a message, right-click anywhere in the table row with the information about the message, and select the required action in the drop-down menu. If you need to apply an action to several messages, select the corresponding rows in the table and then right-click anywhere in the selected area. To select several rows, hold CTRL or SHIFT down:
•When you hold CTRL, messages are selected one by one.
•When you hold SHIFT, messages are selected contiguously.
To select all messages, press CTRL+A.
The menu contains the following actions:
•Select all the filtered messages in the list.
•Delete the selected messages.
•Mark the selected messages as read.
•Clean up the messages database.
|
If you clean up the database, all received messages are deleted (including unread messages). |
Note that messages received from the centralized protection server are automatically deleted at the end of the maximum storage time that is specified in settings.
Since the server can send a significant number of messages, you can filter them by the sending server address, anti-virus network workstation name, message category, or receiving period. By default, the enabled filter shows all categories of messages received from all servers during the current day.
If necessary, you can edit the filter. For that, click the link Edit. After that, the filter pane opens at the top.
Figure 35. Message filter pane
On the filter pane, you can specify the following filtering parameters:
•Servers—list of servers, from which the messages are shown.
•Stations—list of workstations about which the messages are shown.
•Categories—list of message categories to show.
•Period—list of generation periods of messages to show. You can select a standard period from the list or you can specify certain start and end moments of the generation period.
To save the changes, click Apply. To close the filter pane and discard the changes, click Cancel. To reset the filter to the default values, click Reset.
