I plan to schedule antivirus scans on a Windows 11 machine running an Ignition Gateway with multiple modules. The antivirus vendor is not finalized yet.
My main concern is whether including Windows/Java/Ignition temporary files(Temp Folder) in the scan could affect Ignition operation through file locking, CPU/disk usage, or resource contention.
Could antivirus scan impact the Gateway, tags, database connections, historian, Perspective, OPC/PLC communication, MQTT, or Gateway scripts?
What antivirus exclusions and scan scheduling are recommended for an Ignition Gateway, especially for temporary/cache files? Are there any best practices from Inductive Automation?
