Balancer deployment

The files required to run Balancer are included in the distribution kit. You can deploy Balancer either on a computer where an instance of Kaspersky CyberTrace is installed or on a computer without Kaspersky CyberTrace.

Deployment on a computer with Kaspersky CyberTrace

To deploy Balancer on a computer with Kaspersky CyberTrace installed:

  1. Configure Balancer.
  2. Configure Kaspersky CyberTrace instances.
  3. Start Balancer.

Deployment on a computer without Kaspersky CyberTrace

To deploy Balancer on a computer without Kaspersky CyberTrace installed:

  1. Copy the files listed in the table below from the Kaspersky CyberTrace installation directory to another computer.

    The directory to which you are going to copy these files must be configured by using strict Access Control List rules. Namely, only Administrator (in Windows) or root (in Linux) must have access to the directory, its subdirectories, and the files contained therein.
    Also, after you copy or edit these files (for example, after editing the configuration file), verify that the Access Control List rules applied to the directory and its contents are still strict.
