Configuring Inventory in the Web Console

In the Web Console, you can perform an inventory of the applications for the protected device using the Inventory task.

You can create and run Inventory user tasks. You can configure inventory settings by editing the settings of these tasks.

The Kaspersky Security Center database can store information about up to 150,000 processed files. When this number of records is reached, new files will not be processed. To resume the Inventory task, delete the files registered in the Kaspersky Security Center database as a result of previous inventories, from the device where Kaspersky Endpoint Security is installed.

Inventory task settings

Setting	Description
Action to perform on the "Golden image" category upon task completion	In the drop-down list, you can select the action that Kaspersky Endpoint Security must perform with the "Golden Image" application category upon completion of the Inventory task: No changes – do not change the "Golden Image" application category after completing the inventory. This is the default. Update or create (if does not exist) – add applications that the Inventory task discovers on the device to the "Golden Image" category. If the category does not exist, it is created. If the category exists, the list of applications in the category is updated. Delete – delete the "Golden Image" category after completing the inventory. You can use the "Golden Image" category in Application Control rules.
Scan all executables	This check box enables or disables of executable file scans. The check box is selected by default.
Scan binaries	The check box enables or disables scans of binary files (files with the extensions .elf, .java and .pyc). The check box is selected by default.
Scan scripts	This check box enables or disables script scans. The check box is selected by default.
Inventory scopes	The table contains the inventory scopes scanned by the application. The application will scan files and directories located in the paths specified in the table. By default, the table contains one inventory scope – /usr/bin. You can add, modify, delete, move up, or move down inventory scopes in the table. Clicking the Move down button moves the selected item down in the table. Kaspersky Endpoint Security scans objects in the specified scopes in the order they are listed in the table of scan scopes. If you want to configure security settings for a subdirectory that are different from the security settings of the parent directory, you must place the subdirectory higher than its parent directory in the table. This button is available if a scope is selected in the table. Clicking the Move up button moves the selected item up in the table. Kaspersky Endpoint Security scans objects in the specified scopes in the order they are listed in the table of scan scopes. If you want to configure security settings for a subdirectory that are different from the security settings of the parent directory, you must place the subdirectory higher than its parent directory in the table. This button is available if a scope is selected in the table. Clicking the Delete button excludes the selected scope from scans. This button is available if at least one scan scope is selected in the table. You can also import the list of inventory scopes from a file by clicking Import or export the list of inventory scopes to a file in JSON format by clicking Export. When importing, you are prompted to replace the list of inventory scopes or add inventory scopes to the existing list.
