Cloudmark Cartridge Installation and Administration Guide Chapter 4
18 Micro-update frequency
These options are configured using the ‘micro-update interval’ configuration
setting in the cartridge.cfg file. See also Chapter 3, “Cloudmark Cartridge
Configuration”.
Automatic micro-updates
By setting the “micro-update interval” configuration setting to ‘auto’, the
Cloudmark Cartridge will automatically download the latest micro-update
information at the interval defined by Cloudmark in the .acf file. When the time
intervals are updated, the Cartridge will automatically download a new version of
the .acf file.
By default, the Cartridge checks for the availability of changes to the micro-
update data every minute. The entire micro-update is downloaded once every
three hours and saved to disk so that the data can be used offline if necessary.
! The default time intervals as stated above may change as Cloudmark releases
new .acf files.
Cloudmark strongly recommends that customers use the ‘auto’ setting for micro-
updates.
Updates at user-specified intervals
You can specify an interval (in hours) for the “micro-update interval” setting. If
an update is available at that interval, the full micro-update will be downloaded
and saved to the etc/micro_updates directory. The two latest versions of the
micro-updates data will be kept on disk. Older versions will be deleted
automatically.
! This configuration is not recommended, as it may compromise the accuracy of
filtering.
