Compact Diagnostic Interface

This section describes how to use the Compact Diagnostic Interface for reviewing protected device status or current activity, and how to configure writing of dump and trace files.

About the Compact Diagnostic Interface

The Compact Diagnostic Interface component (also referred to as the "CDI") is installed and uninstalled along with the System Tray Icon component independently from the Application Console, and can be used when the Application Console is not installed on the protected device. The CDI is started from the System Tray Icon or by running kavfsmui.exe from the application folder on the protected device.

From the CDI window, you can do the following:

• Review information about general application status.
• Review security incidents that have occurred.
• Review current activity on the protected device.
• Start or stop writing dump and trace files.
• Open the Application Console.
• Open the About the application window with the list of installed updates and available patches.

The CDI is available even if access to Kaspersky Security for Windows Server functions is password-protected. No password is required.

The CDI component cannot be configured via Kaspersky Security Center.

Different colors are used to indicate the application activity status:

• In the Tasks section:
  • Green. There are no conditions that would require yellow or red.
  • Yellow. Critical areas have not been scanned for a long time.
  • Red. At least one of the following conditions is true:

   • Critical areas not scanned for a long time

     This field is displayed only if the application returns a corresponding warning about critical area scans.

   • Running now
   • Execution failed
   • Next start defined by a schedule
5. Review the following information in the Kaspersky Security Network section:
