About SVM discovery

Light Agent can discover SVMs running on the network in one of the following ways:

• Using the Integration Server. SVMs relay information about themselves to the Integration Server. The Integration Server compiles a list of SVMs available for connection, and sends this list to Light Agents.

  In a large-sized virtual infrastructure running the OpenStack platform, VK Cloud platform, or TIONIX Cloud Platform, you can limit the size of the list of SVMs available for connection that the Integration Server relays to Light Agents. The Integration Server can transfer information only about the limited number of available SVMs, which you specified in the Integration Server configuration file.

  To use this method of SVM discovery, you must connect SVMs and Light Agents to the Integration Server.

• With the use of the list of SVM addresses. You can specify a list of SVM addresses to which Light Agents can connect.

If the advanced SVM selection algorithm is used for the Light Agent, and large infrastructure protection mode is enabled on the SVMs, it is recommended to select the Integration Server as the method for Light Agents to discover SVMs.

Each Light Agent can only use one of two possible SVM detection methods.

You can configure the SVM discovery settings for Light Agents for Linux in a Light Agent for Linux policy (in a policy for the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux application).
