To enable use of Kaspersky Security Network, execute one the following commands:

  • To enable use of Kaspersky Security Network with statistics,

    kesl-control --set-app-settings --accept-ksn UseKSN=Extended

  • To enable use of Kaspersky Security Network without statistics,

    kesl-control --set-app-settings --accept-ksn UseKSN=Basic

To disable use of Kaspersky Security Network, execute the following command:

kesl-control --set-app-settings UseKSN=No

To enable or disable use of Kaspersky Security Network with a configuration file, execute the following command:

kesl-control --set-app-settings --accept-ksn --file <configuration file name>

To save detection statistics to a JSON file, execute the following command:

kesl-control --set-app-settings --accept-ksn UseKSN=SaveStatisticsToFile

Files containing statistics for each date other than the current date are packed into a separate TAR archive. In this case, the application does not send requests and statistics to Kaspersky Security Network.

If Kaspersky Endpoint Security installed on a computer runs under a policy that was assigned in Kaspersky Security Center, the value of the UseKSN parameter can only be changed by using Kaspersky Security Center.

If Kaspersky Endpoint Security installed on a computer stops running a policy, the UseKSN=No parameter value is set.
