Starting from <b>imunify-realtime-av 8.0.7</b>, the realtime scanner automatically filters out file operations from system services (MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, Apache, etc.) to significantly reduce CPU overhead on busy servers. The system service threshold is auto-detected from the OS configuration — no manual setup is required.</td></tr>
