Last Updated : Jun 10, 2026 |

About this task

Use this procedure to run AIDE scanning manually. Scanning can take up to 50 minutes, depending on the system data. Avaya recommends that you run AIDE scanning at least once a week.

Run AIDE scanning during the least busy periods to minimize the impact on Avaya Aura® Web Gateway performance.

Before you begin

Ensure that you created a baseline database for your current Avaya Aura® Web Gateway release.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the virtual machine with the deployed Avaya Aura® Web Gateway OVA as an administrator.
  2. Run the following command to navigate to the fsit.sh script location:

    cd /opt/Avaya/bin

  3. Run the following command to run AIDE scanning as a background process:

    sudo ./fsit.sh -scanNow &

Result

AIDE checks the file system integrity and records the results of the scan to the /var/log/aide/aide_scan_report.log file.

Next Steps

Review the scanning results.
