How can I reduce server load by disabling the real-time monitoring to fall back to nightly scanning instead?

Administrators might want to disable the real-time monitoring so that Sentinel will fall back to nightly scanning to reduce server load. Once the maldet service is disabled Linux Malware Detect will fall back to nightly scanning instead.

To disable the real-time monitoring:

systemctl stop maldet
systemctl disable maldet

To enable the real-time monitoring:

systemctl enable maldet
systemctl start maldet
