Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux

Viewing the list of created categories

You can view the list of created application categories.

The following categories are displayed in the list of created categories:

• Categories created in Kaspersky Security Center.
• Categories added in the Application Control task settings using the command line.
• The GoldenImage category created using the Inventory Scan task (in Kaspersky Security Center or using the command line).

To view the list of created application categories, execute the following command:

kesl-control [-A] --get-categories [--json]

where:

--json – output format for the list of categories. If this parameter is not specified, the output will be an INI file.

Kaspersky Endpoint Security displays the following information about the application category:

• Unique identifier (GUID) of the category
• Category name
• Category description (if any)
• The list of conditions for including a file or directory with files in a category
• The list of conditions for excluding a file or directory with files from a category

If in the Application Control task settings, in the [Categories.item_#] section for inclusive or exclusive conditions for triggering a rule, you specify symbolic links to an application file or directory with executable files, then when viewing the list of categories for these conditions, the source path to which the symbolic link points is displayed.
