I manage a fleet of clamav client installations on desktops in multiple geographical regions and need a centralised console for: - monitoring the status of clam on all desktop computers the client is installed on, - forcing an update of signatures, definitions of clients from local freshcam mirrors - generating statistical reports of anti-virus activity across fleets of installations Is there a centralised management console available for this purpose, and if not, what would be required architecturally and technically to implement this kind of tool?
For the monitoring and reporting I would use Nagios and a couple of plugins. I'm not sure why you'd want a way to force updates from a central location but I'd have thought it a very simple thing to implement if your desktops are part of a Windows domain (or forest) using something like the PsTools suite. If they're Linux boxes or similar, Puppet might be the way to go. Personally I'd just use a cron job on the client to interrogate some central resource, such as a file on some network-mounted share or the intranet, which says either 'reload' or 'sleep'. It doesn't need to be complicated. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ http://lurker.clamav.net/list/clamav-devel.html Please submit your patches to our Bugzilla: http://bugs.clamav.net http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
