Storing File on the REST server

The server can be configured so that any data requested for scanning can be stored. This should be configured on the Metascan registry key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE \OPSWAT\Metascan on x86, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\OPSWAT\Metascan on x64). You must restart the Metadefender Core REST service after this key has been updated for the change to take effect.

String value	Value	Description
rest_filedb_type	NONE or mongoDB	Set to mongoDB to enable storing files, the default is NONE. This key does not exist by default and must be created on the Metadefender Core system.
rest_store_file	0 or 1	Set to 1 to enable storing files, the default is 0.

Enabling storing file on the server side will consume disk spaces rapidly depending on the load. You must plan for enough disk spaces depending on the load. You can monitor disk space usage on management console dashboard.
