Enable Real-Time Processing (RTP)

Real-Time Processing is a scan type that processes files immediately upon upload.

This scan mode offers two file discovery methods:

• Polling
• Event-Based

This feature is disabled by default. To enable it:

1. In the MetaDefender Storage Security web interface, navigate to "Storage Units."
2. Select the desired storage unit and click the "More Options" button (represented by three dots) to choose "Add New Scan."
3. Select "Real-Time Processing" and choose the file discovery method (Polling or Event-Based, if the storage supports event-based real-time processing webhook invocation).

To monitor active processes, go to the "Dashboard" and click the "Active Processes" card. This will open the scan details page, providing an overview of scan settings, discovery, and options to stop the scan, view, export, or clear the scan report from the audit log.
