Application administration plug-in trace files

Administration plug-in trace files are not sent to Kaspersky automatically.

Trace files are saved in a human-readable format. It is recommended to protect information from unauthorized access before sending it to Kaspersky.

MMC administration plug-in trace files

If you use the Administration Console to manage Kaspersky Endpoint Security, information about events that occur while the MMC administration plug-in is running can be saved to the Kaspersky Endpoint Security MMC plug-in trace file on the device where the Administration Server is installed. The file name contains the application version number, file creation date and time, and process identifier (PID). This file contains information about the events that occur during MMC plug-in operation, in particular, about the operation of policies and tasks.

MMC plug-in trace files are not generated by default. You can use registry keys to create the MMC plug-in trace file. Contact Technical Support representatives for detailed information on how to create trace files.

All created trace files of the MMC plug-in are located in the folder specified by the user during registry key configuration.

Web administration plug-in trace files

If you use the Web Console to manage Kaspersky Endpoint Security, information about events that occur while the web administration plug-in is running can be written to the web plug-in trace files.

Trace files for the web plug-in are created automatically if logging of Web Console activities is enabled in Web Console Installation Wizard (for more details, refer to the Kaspersky Security Center Help).

Trace files of the web plug-in are stored in the Web Console installation folder in the "logs" subfolder.
