SambaConfigPath

Directory that stores the Samba configuration file. The Samba configuration file is required to ensure that the AllShared or Shared:SMB values can be used for the Path setting.

The standard directory of the SAMBA configuration file on the computer is specified by default.

Default value: /etc/samba/smb.conf.

The application must be restarted after this setting is changed.

NfsExportPath

The directory where the NFS configuration file is stored. The NFS configuration file is required to ensure that the AllShared or Shared:NFS values can be used for the Path setting.

The standard directory of the NFS configuration file on the computer is specified by default.

Default value: /etc/exports.

The application must be restarted after this setting is changed.

TraceLevel

Enable application tracing and the level of detail in the trace files.

Detailed – Generate a detailed trace file.

MediumDetailed – Generate a trace file that contains informational messages and error messages.

NotDetailed – Generate a trace file that contains error messages.

None (default value) — Do not generate a trace file.

TraceFolder

The directory that stores the application trace files.

Default value: /var/log/kaspersky/kesl.

If you specify a different directory, make sure that the account under which Kaspersky Endpoint Security is running has read/write permissions for this directory. Root privileges are required to access the default trace files directory.

The application must be restarted after this setting is changed.

TraceMaxFileCount

Maximum number of application trace files.

1–10000

Default value: 10.

The application must be restarted after this setting is changed.

TraceMaxFileSize

Specifies the maximum size of an application trace file (in megabytes).

1–1000

Default value: 500.

The application must be restarted after this setting is changed.

BlockFilesGreaterMaxFileNamePath

Blocks access to files for which the full path length exceeds the defined settings value specified in bytes. If the length of the full path to the scanned file exceeds the value of this setting, scan tasks skip this file during scanning.

This setting is not available for operating systems that use the fanotify technology.

4096–33554432

Default value: 16384.

After changing the value of this setting, the File Threat Protection task needs to be restarted.

DetectOtherObjects

Enable detection of legitimate applications that intruders can use to compromise devices or data.

Yes: enable detection of legitimate applications that intruders can use to compromise devices or data.

No (default): disable detection of legitimate applications that intruders can use to compromise devices or data.

NamespaceMonitoring

Enable scanning of namespaces and containers.

The application does not scan namespaces and containers unless components for working with containers and namespaces are installed in the operating system.

Yes (default value) — Enable scanning of namespaces and containers.

No — Disable scanning of namespaces and containers.

FileBlockDuringScan

Enabling the file operation intercept mode with blocking access to files for the duration of the scan. The file operation interception mode affects the File Threat Protection and Device Control components.

Yes (default value) to block access to files for the duration of the scan.

No to allow access to files during the scan. Requests to any file is allowed, scanning is done asynchronously. This file operation interception mode has less impact on the system performance, but there is a risk that a threat in a file will not be disinfected or deleted if the file can, for example, change its name during a scan before the application makes a decision on the status of the file.

UseKSN

Enabling Kaspersky Security Network usage:

Basic - enable use of Kaspersky Security Network in standard mode.

Extended - enable use of Kaspersky Security Network in extended mode.

No (default value) — disable use of Kaspersky Security Network.

CloudMode

Enable cloud mode. Cloud mode is available if use of KSN is enabled.

If you plan to use cloud mode, make sure KSN is available on your device.

This setting applies only if the application is used in Standard mode.

Yes — enable the operating mode in which Kaspersky Endpoint Security uses a lightweight version of the malware databases.

No (default value) – use the full version of the malware databases.

Cloud mode is disabled automatically if use of KSN is disabled.

UseMDR

Enabling the Managed Detection and Response component for integration with Kaspersky Managed Detection and Response.

Yes to enable the Managed Detection and Response component.

No (default value) – disable the Managed Detection and Response component.

UseProxy

Enables use of a proxy server by Kaspersky Endpoint Security components. A proxy server can be used to communicate with Kaspersky Security Network and Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response (KATA) to activate the application, and when updating application databases and modules.

If Kaspersky Endpoint Security is used in Light Agent mode to protect virtual environments, the use of a proxy server for connecting to Kaspersky Security Network, the SVM, and the Integration Server is not supported.

Yes - enable the use of a proxy server.

No (default) - Disable the use of a proxy server.

If Yes is selected, integration with Kaspersky Endpoint Detection and Response (KATA) happens through a proxy server.

ProxyServer

Proxy server options in the format: [<user>[:<password>]@]<proxy server address>[:<port>].

When connecting via an HTTP proxy, we recommend to use a separate account that is not used to sign in to other systems. An HTTP proxy uses an insecure connection, and the account may be compromised.

MaxEventsNumber

The maximum number of events stored by the application. When the specified number of events is exceeded, the application deletes the oldest events.

Default value: 500000.

If 0 is specified, events are not saved.

LimitNumberOfScanFileTasks

The maximum number of custom scan tasks that a non-privileged user can simultaneously start on the device. This setting does not limit the number of tasks that a user with root privileges can start.

0–4294967295

Default value: 0.

If 0 is specified, a non-privileged user cannot start custom scan tasks.

If you installed the graphical user interface package when installing the application, the LimitNumberOfScanFileTasks settings has the default value 5.

UseSyslog

Enable logging of information about events to syslog

Root privileges are required to access syslog.

Yes — Enable logging of information about events to syslog.

No (default value) — Disable logging of information about events to syslog.

ExcludedMountPoint.item_#

The mount point to exclude from the scan scope. The exclusion applies to the operation of the File Threat Protection, Anti-Cryptor, and Container Monitoring components and the Removable Drives Scan task, and is also configured in the operation of ODS and ContainerScan scan tasks.

You can specify several mount points to be excluded from scans.

Mount points must be specified in the same way as they are displayed in the mount command output.

The ExcludedMountPoint.item_# setting is left unspecified by default.

AllRemoteMounted — Exclude all remote directories mounted on the device using SMB and NFS protocols from file operation interception.

Mounted:NFS — Exclude all remote directories mounted on the device using the NFS protocol from file operation interception.

Mounted:SMB — Exclude all remote directories mounted on the device using the SMB protocol from file operation interception.

Mounted:<file system type> — Exclude all mounted directories with the specified file system type from file operation interception.

/mnt — Exclude objects in the /mnt mount point (including subdirectories) from file operation interception. This directory is used as the temporary mount point for removable drives.

<path that contains the /mnt/user* or /mnt/**/user_share> — Exclude objects in mount points whose names contain the specified mask from file operation interception.

MemScanExcludedProgramPath.item_#

Exclude process memory from scans.

The application does not scan the memory of the indicated process.

<full path to process> – Do not scan the process in the indicated local directory. You can use masks to specify the path.

UseOnDemandCPULimit
