Manually checking the connection with the Administration Server. Klnagchk utility

The Network Agent distribution kit includes the klnagchk utility, which is intended for checking connection to the Administration Server.

After installation of the Network Agent, the utility is located in the /opt/kaspersky/klnagent/bin directory in 32-bit operating systems and in the /opt/kaspersky/klnagent64/bin directory in 64-bit operating systems. Depending on the utilized keys, the Network Agent performs the following actions when started:

• Writes to the event log file or displays the values of the settings for connecting the Network Agent installed on the client device to the Administration Server.
• Writes to the event log file or displays the Network Agent statistics (since its last launch) and the results of running the utility.
• Attempts to establish a connection between Network Agent and the Administration Server.
• If the connection fails, the utility sends an ICMP packet to check the status of the device where the Administration Server is installed.
