Traffic lights in Administration Console

Administration Console allows you to quickly assess the current status of Kaspersky Security Center and managed devices by checking traffic lights. The traffic lights are shown in the workspace of the Administration Server node, on the Monitoring tab. The tab provides six information panels with traffic lights. A traffic light is a colored vertical bar on the left side of a panel. Each panel with a traffic light corresponds to a specific functional scope of Kaspersky Security Center (see the table below).

Scopes covered by traffic lights in Administration Console

Panel name	Traffic light scope
Deployment	Installing Network Agent and security applications on devices on an organization's network
Management scheme	Structure of administration groups. Network scanning. Device moving rules
Protection settings	Security application functionality: protection status, virus scanning
Update	Updates and patches
Monitoring	Protection status
Administration Server	Administration Server features and properties

Each traffic light can be any of these five colors (see the table below). The color of a traffic light depends on the current status of Kaspersky Security Center and on events that were logged.

Color codes of traffic lights

Status	Traffic light color	Traffic light color meaning
Informational	Green	Administrator's intervention is not required.
Warning	Yellow	Administrator's intervention is required.
Critical	Red	Serious problems have been encountered. Administrator's intervention is required to solve them.

The administrator's goal is to keep traffic lights on all of the information panels on the Monitoring tab green.
