Engines

To manually trigger update of scan engine and database packages, click on the Update now button.

To provide engine or database packages on your own, select the Upload package option.

Engines can be disabled (and re-enabled afterwards) by clicking on the cross button. When an engine is disabled neither the engine nor the corresponding database package is updated and it will be removed from every agent. Status of the engine is displayed by green mark sign, grey cross sign meaning the enabled or disabled accordingly.

Note that in case of having a Metadefender Core v3 database update for which remote engine update is not supported, engine version information is not shown.
