Configuring the sizing settings of the application

If you are using the distributed solution and multitenancy mode, use the web interface of the PCN or SCN server for which you want to configure parameters.

You can change the operational load on the Central Node component. For example, you can connect additional hosts with the Endpoint Agent component or servers with the Sensor component to the Central Node component. To do this, you need to specify the planned volume of SPAN traffic, mail traffic, the number of hosts with the Endpoint Agent component, as well as the size of the Storage and event database. Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform will determine the optimal configuration of the Central Node servers taking into account the specified settings.

If the Central Node component is deployed as a cluster, the application determines the optimal configuration of all servers in the cluster.

To configure the Central Node servers:

1. In a browser on any computer on which access to the Central Node server has been allowed, enter the IP address of the server with the Central Node component into the browser's address bar.

   If you are using the high availability version of the application, you can enter the IP address of any server of the Central Node cluster or the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the cluster.

   To ensure uninterrupted access to the program web interface, you can configure the Round Robin function on the DNS server. To do this, log in to the web interface of the first healthy server of the Central Node cluster.

   An input window for account credentials of the Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform user opens.

2. Enter the user name ("admin") and the password that was set during the installation of the application.
3. Select the Local administrator check box.
4. Click Log in.
5. If you are using the high availability version of the application, go to the Server configuration section.

   If the Central Node component is deployed on a single server, only this section is displayed.

6. In the Number of Endpoint Agents field, specify the number of hosts with the Endpoint Agent component that you plan on using.

   If you are not using a KEDR license key, specify 0.

7. In the Mail traffic, messages per second field, specify the planned number of emails per second.

   If you are not using a KATA license key, specify 0.

8. In the SPAN traffic, Mbps field, specify the planned amount of traffic from SPAN ports on servers with the Sensor component.

   If you are not using a KATA license key, specify 0.

9. In the Available disk space section, specify the size of the events database and Storage in one of the following ways:
   • Move the slider separating the Events database and Storage to the left or right.
   • Specify the values in the Events database, GB and Storage, GB fields.

   If the Central Node component is deployed on a single server, leave default values for the events database and the Storage.

   If the Central Node component is deployed as a high availability cluster, use the Sizing Guide to calculate the size of the events database.

   Please note that if the disk space allocated to the events database is full, the Central Node component will not receive data from the Endpoint Agent component. If you run out of disk space, make sure you have sized the events database correctly. Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform does not check the entered values for correctness.

   Disk space is automatically reserved for the alert database when the Central Node component is installed.

10. If necessary, you can leave free space on disk by moving the last slider on the right.
11. Click Configure.

Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform will determine the optimal server configuration in accordance with the specified settings and configure the cluster servers. If the configuration is completed successfully, the web interface login window will appear.
