MetaDefender Client permits the automatic generation of scan reports that are normally only available by exporting the scan details after a scan has been completed. This is done by editing the client_config file of MetaDefender Client (not available on Central Management console).

1. Navigate to C:\Users\%%%username%%%\AppData\Roaming\MetaDefenderApp\client_config.json

2. Add the string, "pdf_report_dir":"<a path where you want to save scan reports>"

3. Save the .json file

This configuration will only be applied if MetaDefender Client has appropriate privileges to write to the destination directory.

Note: This feature is only supported on MetaDefender Client 4.1.9 or later.

This article applies to MetaDefender Client version 4.1.9+ and MetaDefender Core 4.x
