Kaspersky Endpoint Security 12 for Linux

Viewing information about application usage in Light Agent mode in the command line

July 22, 2024

ID 197252

In the command line, you can view the following information about using the application in Light Agent mode for protecting virtual environments:

  • Settings for using the application in Light Agent mode
  • Connecting the Light Agent to the Integration Server
  • Connecting the Light Agent to SVMs

To view information about the settings for using the application in Light Agent mode, run:

kesl-control [-V] --ksvla-info

The command outputs the following information to the console:

  • Light Agent mode for protecting virtual environments: enabled/disabled.

    If Light Agent mode is enabled, the application is used as a Light Agent as part of Kaspersky Hybrid Cloud Security for Virtualization Light Agent. If Light Agent mode is disabled, the application is used in Standard mode.

  • VDI protection mode: enabled/disabled.

    VDI protection mode optimizes the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for running on temporary virtual machines. If VDI protection mode is enabled, updates that require restarting the protected virtual machine are not installed on temporary virtual machines. When receiving updates that require a restart, the Light Agent installed on a temporary virtual machine sends a message to Kaspersky Security Center about the need to update the protected virtual machine template.

  • Type of protected virtual machine: temporary or persistent.
  • The role of the protected virtual machine in the virtual infrastructure: server or workstation.
  • The identifier (UUID) of the protected virtual machine.

To view information about connecting Light Agent to the Integration Server, run:

kesl-control [-V] --viis-info

The command outputs the following information to the console:

  • Address and port of the Integration Server that the Light Agent connects to.
  • Status of the connection to the Integration Server.
  • Date and time of the last connection between the Light Agent and the Integration Server.

To view information about connecting Light Agent to SVMs, run:

kesl-control [-V] --svm-info

The command outputs the following information to the console:

  • The address of the SVM to which the Light Agent is connected, and the location of the SVM in the virtual infrastructure relative to the Light Agent: local or not local.
  • Method that the Light Agent uses to detect SVMs: using the Integration Server or using a list of manually defined SVM addresses.
  • List of SVM addresses, if the selected SVM discovery method is lists of SVM addresses.
  • Tag for connecting Light Agent to the SVM.
  • SVM selection algorithm: standard or advanced. If the advanced SVM selection algorithm is used, the type of the SVM's location in the virtual infrastructure is also displayed.
  • Protection of the connection between the Light Agent and the Protection Server.

For information about the settings for connecting Light Agents to the Integration Server and SVMs, refer to the Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent Help.
