Deploying nodes

To deploy nodes with the installed application components, you can add or remove sensors, configure the settings for storing application data on nodes, and manage the protection functions.

If you use the Server without external sensors, you do not need to add sensors after installing the application. In this case, the deployment settings must be configured only for the Server node. To install the Server and external sensors, you can add sensors when connecting to the Server using the web interface. The application uses only the sensors that are added to the application and connected.

By default, the settings for storing the application data on the Server and sensors are set to ensure long-term storage and optimal use of free disk space. If necessary, you can change the data storage settings on any node taking into account the specifics of your system (for example, if the computer hardware does not fully meet the requirements).

The application monitors the operation of the available monitoring points and of the provided technologies in order to promptly notify the user about inactive protection functions of the application. If any monitoring points or technologies are disabled, the application displays a message about the disabled protection functions. This message is also displayed for technologies operating in the learning mode (this mode is available for some technologies). It is recommended to disable monitoring points and technologies, as well as to use the technology learning mode for a limited time. For example, you can disable a monitoring point for the period of maintenance and commissioning in the corresponding segment of the industrial network.

You can view information about the nodes and manage the deployment settings in the Settings → Deployment section of the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks web interface. Only the users with the Administrator role can manage deployment settings.
