About device statuses

Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console assigns a status to each managed device. The particular status depends on whether the conditions defined by the user are met. In some cases, when assigning a status to a device, Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console takes into consideration the device's visibility flag on the network (see the table below). If Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console does not find a device on the network within two hours, the visibility flag of the device is set to Not Visible.

The statuses are the following:

The table below lists the default conditions that must be met to assign the Critical or Warning status to a device, with all possible values.

Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console enables you to set up automatic switching of the status of a device in an administration group when specified conditions are met. When specified conditions are met, the client device is assigned one of the following statuses: Critical or Warning. When specified conditions are not met, the client device is assigned the OK status.

Different statuses may correspond to different values of one condition. For example, by default, if the Databases are outdated condition has the More than 3 days value, the client device is assigned the Warning status; if the value is More than 7 days, the Critical status is assigned.

When Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console assigns a status to a device, for some conditions (see the Condition description column) the visibility flag is taken into consideration. For example, if a managed device was assigned the Critical status because the Databases are outdated condition was met, and later the visibility flag was set for the device, then the device is assigned the OK status.
