Updating application databases and modules in the Web Console

In the Web Console, you can update databases and application modules using the Update task. You can use the automatically created Update group task, as well as create user tasks for updating.

To configure update settings in the Web Console:

1. In the main window of the Web Console, select Assets (Devices) → Tasks.

   The list of tasks opens.

2. Do one of the following:
   • If you want to edit the settings of a task that is run on all devices included in a specific administration group, click the link in the Current path field in the upper part of the window and select the administration group in the window that opens.

     The list displays only tasks configured for the selected administration group.

   • If you want to edit the settings of a task that is run on one or multiple devices (a task for a set of devices), click the link in the Current path field in the upper part of the window and select the top node with the name of the Administration Server in the window that opens.

     The list displays all tasks created on the Administration Server.

3. In the list of tasks, select the required Update task and open the task properties window by clicking the link in the task name.
4. In the task properties window, select Application settings tab. Select the Update sources section in the list on the left.
5. In the table, select the update source from which the application will receive updates for databases and modules, depending on the update scenario used.

   The list of update sources contains Kaspersky update servers and Kaspersky Security Center. The Status column indicates whether the application is using this update source when running the task. You can add other update sources to the list by clicking the Add button. You can specify FTP-, HTTP-, or HTTPS servers as update sources. If an update cannot be performed from an update source, Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Linux Nodes switches to the next update source. The application accesses update sources in the order in which they appear in the table.

6. Select the Settings section and configure other update settings.
7. Select the Schedule tab and configure the schedule for running the update task.

   If you have selected Kaspersky Security Center as the update source, select When downloading updates to the repository from the Start task drop-down list. For more details about scheduling tasks, refer to the Kaspersky Security Center Help system.

8. Click the Save button to save the changes made.

The task will start according to the configured schedule. You can also run the task manually.
