Reason: Linux Binary

Action: No action taken

why are they suspicious is this an issue can I delete those files in /tmp or even all the files in /tmp folder ?

this is a fresh install of confluence latest build from 2 days ago 8-11-2018

do these files need to exec:

or can i add a command in csf .Ignore process to stop the emails ?

if these files need to be in /tmp folder how can I avoid this headache of all the emails please

thanks for your help

So your saying those files belong there ?

In /var/tmp\&nbsp;  
Maybe that should of been my question in the first place .  
Thanks for your answer if I'm reading it correctly.\&nbsp;

body: Heh, I just read a lot of scientific stuff, acronyms everywhere in that.

Two things about those files

* Yes, if Confluence put them there, then they're there for a good reason.
* But, I'd expect Confluence to use its own working space, not /tmp. I've only ever seen Confluence put graph files in /tmp, after I told it to use it for generating stuff. But that was Confluence 5. I suspect it's more likely to be Synchrony doing it (the bundled, but independent service that handles collaborative editing in Confluence 6+), which I'm less sure what its normal behaviour would be.

I'd try disabling the collaborative editing for a while to confirm if it's Synchrony or not (you can do it in the ui)

body: I disabled collaborative editing and I'm not getting any messages any longer.. thanks .Not a 100% solution in the overall but did 100% solve my email issues. :) Thanks again .

body: This is a question for CSF, whatever that is (Cerebrospinal fluid is the first random acronym I recognised).

I am guessing it is some form of virus or security scan software that is throwing false positives about the confluence installation and you need to configure it to stop sending out these incorrect reports (I'd question why it's getting it wrong first, and look at something a bit more accurate)

author: TV Clipz
body: Ok so I went to /var/tmp

And removed both of those files from there. I stopped confluence and then removed files then restarted.

The lib file came back right away. The other snappy file came back a few minutes later. Just so you are aware. Also I can't remove them cause confluence keep regenerating them to /var/tmp .so at that point t I'm still getting emails .anyone know how to hide these emails is CSF lfd ??
