Option definitions
Option Definition
Specify location of database To enable the Database location for storing the quarantined items detected by MSME.
Database location To specify the database location path where items detected by MSME can be stored. You can select:
<Install Folder> — To create the database sub-folders under the MSME installation directory.
<System Drive> — To create the database sub-folders under the C:\Windows\system32 directory.
<Program Files> — To create the database sub-folders under the Windows C:\Program Files (x86) directory.
<Windows Folder> — To create the database sub-folders under the C:\Windows directory.
<Data Folder> — To create the database sub-folders under the C:\ProgramData\ directory.
<Full Path> — To store the MSME database in the complete path specified.
Specify the sub-folder path in the field next to the drop-down list. The default sub-folder path specified is: McAfee\MSME\Data\
Maximum item size (MB) To specify the maximum size of a quarantined item that can be stored in the database. You can specify a value from 1 to 999, where the default value is 100.
Maximum query size (records) To specify the maximum number of records or quarantined items you can query from the Detected Items page. You can specify a value from 1 to 20000, where the default value is 1000.
Maximum item age (days) To specify the maximum number of days an item will be stored in the local quarantine database, before being marked for deletion. You can specify a value from 1 to 365, where the default value is 30.
Disk size check interval (Minute) To specify how often MSME should check for the available disk space. You can specify a value from 6 to 2880, where the default value is 6.
Disk space threshold (MB) To specify the threshold value at which a low disk space warning notification should be sent to the administrator. You can specify a value from 1 to 512000, where the default value is 2048.
Make sure that Database diskspace goes below the threshold under Settings & Diagnostics | Notifications | Product Health Alerts | Notify when is enabled.
Purge of old items frequency To specify how frequently old items that are marked for deletion are deleted from the MSME database. The default value is set to Monthly.
Optimization frequency To recover the disk space taken up by deleted database records. Based on the value set under Maximum item age (days), old records will be deleted if you have scheduled a purge task. After deleting these old records, MSME will still use the disk space specified under Disk space threshold (MB) field, even if the quarantine database has not reached the size limit. To optimize and shrink the database, schedule an optimization task. The default value is set to Monthly.
Always schedule an optimization task a few hours after you perform the purge task.
Edit Schedule To modify the schedule of the purge or optimization task. Click Save after modifying the schedule.
3 Click Apply to save the settings.
You have now successfully configured your MSME server to start quarantining detected items on to the local database.
