NetBackup Malware Scanner error
Hello,
Following the instructions in the NetBackup™ Security and Encryption Guide I installed the NetBackup Malware Scanner (Avira) on a linux host and wanted to validate the installation. The "./update.sh" worked fine.
But the test scan wrote an error to the log file:
# ./avira_lib_dir_scan "/NBAntiMalwareClient/savapi-sdk-linux64/bin/avupdate.bin" -log_path "/root/NBMalwareScanner.log" -conf_path "/NBAntiMalwareClient/savapi-sdk-linux64/bin/aviraconf.txt"

AVE version: 8.3.70.92
VDF version: 8.20.55.30

# cat "/root/NBMalwareScanner.log"
02/06/2025 17:37:14 libsavapi[29828]: [ID139847807833920] ERROR: Setting log level - ERROR
I tried this setup on three different linux hosts (RHEL, Centos) and always got the same error.
Could anybody help?
Thank you.

What counts is the command outcome - without virus in given path it just returned the VDF version, with virus in given path it returns the info about what was found. To me it is working... isn't it??
