You can use the following installation menu commands to manage installation of sensors:
Add sensor – adds a new node that will be assigned sensor functions. If you select this option, you need to specify the main settings for the sensor when the following prompts appear:
Enter the IP address of the node for installation – defines the IP address that will be used for connecting to the computer over the SSH protocol and installing the sensor.
Enter sensor name – defines the name of the sensor within Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity. The sensor name must be unique (not match the names of other sensors or the Server) and must contain no more than 100 characters. You can use letters of the Latin alphabet, numerals, a space, and the following special characters: _ and - (for example, Sensor_1). The sensor name must begin and end with any permitted character except a space.
Change sensor settings – modifies the settings of the added sensor. You can use this menu item to change the main sensor settings that can be edited (for example, its name) and configure advanced settings. Selecting this menu item displays a list of nodes on which sensors have been added. After selecting a node, you will see a submenu in which you can change the following settings:
Change sensor name – changes the name of the sensor within Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity. This menu item is analogous to the Enter sensor name item in the Add sensor menu.
Specify an additional user to run the installation – defines an additional user account that will be used to run the installation on the sensor node. This menu item is analogous to the Specify an additional user to run the installation item in the Change Server settings menu.
Enable hardware Watchdog – enables use of the hardware Watchdog. This menu item is analogous to the Enable Hardware Watchdog item in the Change Server settings menu.
Disable autostart of kics4net – disables autostart of the kics4net service when the operating system starts.
Set occupied space limit in gigabytes – sets a 500 GB limit on the maximum space that can be occupied by application files on the hard drive of the node. This menu item is available if the current limit is defined as a percentage. When you select this item, you can change the default value within the range of 8–100000 GB. However, if the free space on the node during installation of application components is less than the defined limit (including the space occupied by existing application files remaining from the previous installation of application components), the installation ends with an error.
Set occupied space limit as a percentage of free disk space – enables a limit equal to 90% of free disk space as the maximum space that can be occupied by application files on the hard drive of the node. This menu item is available if the current limit is set in gigabytes. When you select this item, you can change the default value within the range of 1–100%. During installation of application components, the application will determine the free disk space on the hard drive of this node. The application will then convert the defined value into gigabytes and save the obtained result as the active limit. However, if the free space on this node during installation of application components is less than 8 GB (including the space occupied by existing application files remaining from the previous installation of application components), the installation ends with an error.
Change the set occupied space limit – changes the current maximum space that can be occupied by application files on the hard drive of the node. The range of possible values depends on the measurement units of the currently defined limit (as a percentage or in gigabytes). For details about determining the free disk space on a hard drive depending on the measurement units, please refer to the sections titled Set occupied space limit in gigabytes and Set occupied space limit as a percentage of free disk space.
Remove sensor – removes the sensor node. Selecting this item displays a list of nodes on which sensors have been added.
