Manually checking the connection with the Administration Server. Klnagchk utility

The Network Agent distribution kit includes the klnagchk utility, which is intended for checking the connection with the Administration Server.

After installation of Network Agent, the utility is located in the /opt/kaspersky/klnagent64/bin directory. Depending on the utilized keys, it performs the following actions when started:

• Displays the values of the connection settings of Network Agent installed on the client computer to the Administration Server, or writes them to an event log file.
• Records Network Agent statistics (since the last time the component was started) and utility operation results to the event log file, or displays the information on the screen.
• Attempts to establish a connection between Network Agent and the Administration Server.
• If the connection attempt fails, the utility sends an ICMP packet to check the status of the computer on which the Administration Server is installed.
