      To test this, you need direct access to the database.

      1. Ideally, enable AV scanning for your test site. (Otherwise, we will log a very short, possibly zero time, but there will be no real problem if so.)
        • Install ClamAV on your machine. E.g. in Ubuntu: "sudo apt install clamav clamav-daemon"
        • Take note of the path to clamscan. e.g. by running "which clamscan"
        • Navigate to Site admin > Plugins > Antivirus plugins.
        • Enable the ClamAV antivirus
        • Go to its settings and set the antivirus_clamav | pathtoclam setting with the path to the clamscan command.
        • Save the changes
      2. You can upload a file anywhere in Moodle. (For example, you can start a forum post and drag a file into the attachment area.)
      3. Look in the logstore_standard_log table, and find the draft_file_added event.
      4. Verify that the other data shows an avscantime property with a float value.

      We were wondering how well AV scanning was working on our Moodle sites.

      As far as I can see, it is not easy to get logs out of ClamAV that lists all the files scanned, wit the size and how long it took.

      So, instead, it just seemed easier to build on MDL-77406, and add the time required to do the virus scanning to the draft_file_added log event, as an optional memeber of the 'other' array.

      Note: I am not currently planning to expose this data anywhere in the Moodle UI. It will just be there for admins who want to dig into it. E.g. with a query in https://moodle.org/plugins/report_customsql.
