Antivirus for IIB/ACE/MQ on linux

    Does anyone have experience with different antivirus tools on linux and their impact on IIB/ACE/MQ?
    I know it's best to exclude the mq log dirs from any antivirus tool you run, but are there tools that work better or worse with the IBM products?

    Hello Matthias, 

    I sent your question to one of our support teams and here is his response below: 

    "AV software has been known to cause a variety of issues from performance to crashes.  It depends on how the software works.  We usually recommend client's whitelist the ACE directories (install and registry)." 

    I hope this helps, let me know if you need more details!
