Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Linux Nodes

Appendix 1. Resource consumption optimization

February 8, 2024

ID 206054

When scanning objects, Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Linux Nodes uses the processor resources, disk subsystem input/output, and operating system.

To view the resource consumption by the application, execute the following command:

top -bn1|grep kics

The command must be executed when the system is loaded.

The command output shows the amount of used memory and processor time:

651 root 20 0 3014172 2,302g 154360 S 120.0 30.0 0:32.80 kics

Column 6 displays the amount of resident memory – 2.302g.

Column 9 displays the percentage of the processor cores usage – 120.0, where each core is represented by 100 percent. Thus, 120% means that one core is fully used, and the other is used at 20%.

If Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Linux Nodes critically slows down the system while scanning objects, the application must be configured to optimize consumption of system resources.
