Hello there,
I recently initiated a Malware scan on a linux host and when I went to see the results I see that it seems that it scan only two dirs (/opt, /usr) only.
Why is that the case?
The host has more directories of course and there are multiple filesystems that are mounted on
Lastly, I don't see any connection between the two.

Hello @Panagiss ,
Please check the malware profile assigned to the Linux server.
Endpoint scanning is enabled by default on the following : /etc, /tmp, /home, /usr, /bin, /sbin, /lib, /var, /opt, /dev, /root, /boot.
Check whether any directories are configured in allow list and also the directories in the Server itself.
You may open TAC case if you have any concern.

The Profile that I have set includes the default as you mention and image you send is the same as mine. But still when I performed the scan I saw it scanning only two dirs.
