Description

On a fresh installed server with mail server and mail filter, the web interface will show a waning message like this:

Database is older than 5 days. Check logs for more details.${title}

The warning is raised by clamav database which isn't up to date.

The warning can be safely removed, because clamav will update database in background.

12 hours, its status is "error" and database files are older than 5
days.

History

#1 Updated by Filippo Carletti over 7 years ago

Wouldn't the warning message disappear automatically when clamav updates?
I'd leave the warning for cases where the update really fails for many days in a row.

Wouldn't the warning message disappear automatically when clamav updates?

Yes, but the actual text is totally incomprehensible.

I'd leave the warning for cases where the update really fails for many days in a row.

I agree, but this is a configuration page. If we want to leave the alert it should be placed on the Dashboard page.

Test case 1

  • Grab the freshclam mirrors from freshclam.conf:
        # grep Mirror /etc/freshclam.conf 
    DatabaseMirror db.it.clamav.net
    DatabaseMirror db.local.clamav.net
    
  • In DNS UI module, define any DatabaseMirror as server self alias, to fake freshclam update failures.
  • Run freshclam and verify it's state is error:
        # cat /var/log/clamav/freshclam-updates.log 
    error 2014-03-04T11:52:50Z
    
  • Now fake stale db signatures:
        # touch -d @$((`date +%s` - (3600*24*7))) /var/lib/clamav/*
    
  • Open Mail UI interface: you must see the error notification

Test case 2

  • Remove DNS aliases
  • Restore signatures access/modification timestamp in /var/lib/clamav/*
  • Run freshclam
  • Open Mail UI interface: you must not see the error notification
