Question What information is contained in the .rapid-scan-db folder?

[WSNHosting]

Server operating system version

Almalinux 9.2

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.77 #4

What information is contained in the .rapid-scan-db folder?

Is it related to hardware, or is the information about something else?

@WSNHosting, the folder in question typically belongs to Imunify. As far as I can see it is used to store local file metadata and hashes. However, it might be worth to double-check that directly with CloudLinux as the vendor of Imunify. Is there any Plesk-related issue you are experiencing concerning that folder?

It's from Imunify, right? It's not related to hardware RAID.

Yes, it should belong to the malware scanner of Imunify. I don't believe it does have any relation to the hardware.

Dear Sebahat,

I find this a 'strange' answer. Immunify was installed earlier after a Plesk update without consent of server admins. Would be more customer friendly
if you would ask yourself what sort of info is in the .rapid-scan-db folder with the persons Plesk dealt with in the past of Cloudlinux in order to install Immunify without consent on of server admins on Plesk servers.....

@devnull , I am assuming you are referring to the issue during the Imunify extension replacement that occurred a year ago (June, 2025) when it was installed on servers that did not previously use Imunify. I am sorry if you were affected, but that issue did not affect all Plesk users, and I doubt that this case is related to it. If there's an actual issue I can double-check with CloudLinux, but to me this seems like a genuine question about what data is stored by the software's feature, which is not dependent on Plesk. Hence, it is better to be addressed by the vendor.
