The Kaspersky Scan Engine dashboard also contains a table with service events. The initial view of the table contains up to 50 last service events. You can scroll down the table to browse more service events. Using the table, you can do the following:

  You can choose one or several modules that issued the events:

    Events from this module are related to updating of the anti-virus database.

  • Licensing module

    Events from this module are related to the licensing functionality.

  • Scanning module

    Events from this module are related to errors that occurred during scanning of objects.

  • Service

    Events from this module can be either from HTTP Daemon or from ICAP Plugin.

  You can also specify the severity of events to be displayed.

  The filter you set is kept when you refresh the web page.

• Save the contents of the table to a file by clicking Export.
• Refresh the contents of the table manually by clicking Refresh.

The Kaspersky Scan Engine dashboard also contains several buttons that allow you to do the following:
