After installing the Linux Endpoint Agent, you can execute many operations by Command Line Interface (CLI), including start a scan, update databases, or configure exclusions. Some tasks are easier to use via the OneView console interface, like update database, create exclusions, or check quarantine. See this article for the available commands for Linux endpoints.
List of Linux commands
Enter one of the following Commands in your Linux CLI:
| Command | Description |
| mblinux scan |
Initiates a scan on the Linux endpoint. You can view the results in the console on the Detections page. |
| mblinux logs | List log contents. |
| mblinux update | Update malware databases. |

mblinux configure OneView_URI=https://oneview.malwarebytes.com
