/esets.cfg
This is the most important configuration file, as it controls all major aspects of the product‘s
functionality. The esets.cfg file is made up of several sections, each section containing various
parameters. The file contains one global and several “agent“ sections, with all section names
enclosed in square brackets. Parameters in the global section are used to define configuration
options for the ESETS daemon as well as default values for the ESETS scanning engine
configuration. Parameters in agent sections are used to define configuration options of so-
called agents such as modules used to intercept various data flow types in the computer
and/or its neighborhood and prepare this data for scanning. Note that in addition to the various
parameters used for the system configuration, there are also rules governing the organization of
the file. For detailed information on the most effective way to organize this file, please refer to the
esets.cfg(5), esets_daemon (8) man page and relevant agents‘ man pages.
@ETCDIR@ /certs
This directory is used to store the certificates used by ESETS Web Interface for authentication.
Please see the esets_wwwi man page (8) for details.
@ETCDIR@ /license
This directory is used to store the product(s) license key(s) you have acquired from your
vendor. Note that the ESETS daemon only checks this directory to evaluate license key validity
unless the ‘license_dir‘ parameter in the ESETS configuration file is redefined.
@ETCDIR@ /scripts/license_warning_script
If enabled by the ESETS configuration file parameter ‘license_warn_enabled’, this script will be
executed 30 days (once per day) before product license expiration, sending an email notification
about the expiration status to the system administrator.
@ETCDIR@ /scripts/daemon_notification_script
If enabled by the ESETS configuration file parameter ‘exec_script‘, this script is executed in the
event of a detected infiltration by the antivirus system. It is used to send email notification about
the event to the system administrator.
@ETCDIR@ /anti-spam
This directory contains the configuration file used to fine tune the anti-spam engine
operation.
