  1. Antivirus session Load Balancing:

In an active-active HA cluster, antivirus sessions are load-balanced among all cluster units.

 

  1. Logging Configuration:

  • If configured to log to disk, each cluster unit records log messages to disk only for the antivirus sessions it processes.
  • If configured to log to memory, each cluster unit records log messages to memory only for the antivirus sessions it processes.

 

  1. Viewing Log Messages:

To view log messages recorded by each cluster unit, navigate to Log & Report -> Log Access and select the serial number of the desired cluster unit.
