Once the scanner_agent container is running, you can use it to submit files for scanning to the ESET Cloud Scanner Load balancer (solution deployed previously using Helm chart).

1.Access the container

Open an interactive shell inside the running container:

docker exec -it scanner_agent bash

2.Run a single scan

Invoke the Scanner Agent against the Cloud Scanner LoadBalancer endpoint and the mounted samples directory:

scanner_agent -t '10.1.222.198:50052' /mnt/samples/

3.Generate continuous load (optional)

To generate sustained load for testing or dashboard observation in Grafana, you can run the scanner in a loop:

while true; do scanner_agent -t '10.1.222.198:50052' /mnt/samples/; done

Replace 10.1.222.198 with the LoadBalancer IP address assigned to the ESET Cloud Scanner service if it differs from your configuration. The port 50052 corresponds to the default gRPC endpoint used by the Cloud Scanner LoadBalancer.
