Configuring automatic scanning

Last Updated : Jun 05, 2026 |

About this task

Use this procedure to configure automatic AIDE scanning. Automatic scanning is performed once a day. Scanning can take up to 50 minutes, depending on the system data.

Schedule AIDE scanning for the least busy periods to minimize the impact on Avaya Aura® Device Services performance.

Before you begin

Ensure that you created a baseline database for your current Avaya Aura® Device Services release.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the virtual machine with the deployed Avaya Aura® Device Services 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 configure automatic scanning:

    sudo ./fsit.sh -enableScan <hour> <minute>

    Replace <hour> and <minute> with the time when you want to run the scan process. Use the 24–hour time format. For 12 a.m., enter 0.

    For example, enter sudo ./fsit.sh -enableScan 16 00 to run scanning at 4:00 p.m.

Result

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

Next Steps

Review the scanning results.
