You can receive information about the status of SVMs deployed in the virtual infrastructure by using any network management system that utilizes the SNMP protocol. An SVM is installed with an SNMP agent that can send information about the status of the SVM to the network management system of your organization.
SNMP Agent can relay the following SVM status information:
RAM consumption by the Protection Server (scanserver service) as a percentage of the maximum value that, when reached, causes the Protection Server to restart.
Page file usage by the Protection Server (scanserver service) as a percentage of the maximum value that, when reached, causes the Protection Server to restart.
the number of Light Agents connected to the SVM and installed on virtual machines with desktop operating systems (only virtual machines that are not turned off or stopped are counted);
the number of Light Agents connected to the SVM and installed on virtual machines with server operating systems (only virtual machines that are not turned off or stopped are counted);
information about whether virtual machine scan tasks are currently running on the Protection Server installed on this SVM;
If scan tasks are running: information about the number of virtual machines that are currently waiting to be scanned, and the number of virtual machines that are being simultaneously scanned.
Information about the status of the following services on SVMs:
scanserver (Protection Server)
klnagent (Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent)
Apache
watchdog (wdserver)
SNMP Agent relays the Running (service is running) or Stopped (service is not running) value for each service.
This data is specific to the Kaspersky Security solution and described in the KSVLA-MIB.txt MIB file, which is included in the solution's distribution kit. You can use this file to receive additional information from SVMs. You can also receive other values of SNMP counters from the standard set of the Net-SNMP package.
You can enable or disable SNMP monitoring in a Protection Server policy using Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console or Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.
In the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console tree, in the Managed devices folder, select the administration group containing the SVM with the Protection Server whose settings you want to configure.
In the workspace, select the Policies tab.
Select a Protection Server policy in the list of policies and right-click to open the Properties: <Policy name> window.
In the policy properties window, select the SNMP monitoring settings section in the list on the left.
Enabling / disabling SNMP monitoring of SVM status.
If the check box is selected, the SNMP agent installed on an SVM relays information about the status of the SVM to the network management system of your organization.
If the check box is cleared, no information about SVM state is sent.
In the main window of Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, select Devices → Policies and policy profiles.
A list of policies opens.
Select the administration group containing the SVM with the Protection Server whose settings you want to configure. To do so, click the link in the Current path field located above the list of policies and policy profiles, and select an administration group in the window that opens.
The list displays only the policies configured for the selected administration group.
Click on the name of the desired policy in the list.
In the policy properties window that opens, select the Application settings tab and go to the SNMP monitoring settings section.
Enabling / disabling SNMP monitoring of SVM status.
If the check box is selected, the SNMP agent installed on an SVM relays information about the status of the SVM to the network management system of your organization.
If the check box is cleared, no information about SVM state is sent.
This check box is cleared by default.
Click the Save button.
If SNMP Monitoring is enabled in the active Protection Server policy, the SNMP agent installed on an SVM relays information about the status of the SVM to the network management system of your organization.
If the policy that enables SNMP monitoring is inactive, information about the status of SVMs is not relayed.
