Interaction between Administration Server and devices is performed by the Network Agent component of Kaspersky Security Center Linux. Network Agent must be installed on all devices on which Kaspersky Security Center Linux is used to manage Kaspersky applications.

For Windows devices, you can specify a different folder for the installation of Network Agent in the settings of the installation package. However, for Linux devices, Network Agent can only be installed in the default directory.
The Network Agent installation folder also contains utilities for managing and diagnosing the operation of Network Agent, such as the klmover and klnagchk utilities.
When you install Administration Server, the server version of Network Agent is automatically installed together with Administration Server. Nevertheless, to manage the Administration Server device as any other managed device, install Network Agent for Linux on the Administration Server device. In this case, Network Agent for Linux is installed and works independently from the server version of Network Agent that you installed together with Administration Server.
Network Agent synchronizes the managed device with the Administration Server. We recommend that you set the synchronization interval (also referred to as the heartbeat) to 15 minutes per 10,000 managed devices.
