Increasing the Debug Logging for Anti-Malware In Protected Linux Instances

This article explains how to increase and decrease the Anti-Malware (AM) debug logging used to diagnose any issue related to AM when running on a Linux operating system. The generated logs can then be retrieved by generating diagnostic packages for the relevant instances.

Increase Anti-Malware Debug Log Level

To increase the debug log level enter the following command in a shell on the Linux instance as root:

killall -USR1 ds_am

The above will increase the level one unit. By default the level is 6 and the maximum is 8.

killall -USR1 ds_am

The above will decrease the level one unit. The minimum level is 0.
