Searching devices and events in the databases of Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Servers
In the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console, you can create requests to receive specific selections of devices and events by using the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks web plug-in. Based on these requests, a search is performed directly in the databases of Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Servers. This is the main distinction between the web plug-in capabilities and the search functionality provided by the standard tools for receiving selections of devices and events in the Web Console (for example, under Devices → Device selections and Monitoring and reports → Event selections). When using the standard tools in the Web Console, the search for devices and events is performed in the Administration Server database.
The KICS for Networks → Search section of the Web Console is used to configure the settings of search requests sent to Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Servers and to display the search results. Search requests for devices must be formulated separately from search requests for events.
Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Servers process the search requests and provide information for those requests with the following limitations:
- The number of returned items that match the search request (devices or events) from each Server cannot be more than 200.
- They provide only the information that can actually be searched. For example, device search results will contain the MAC- and IP addresses of devices but will not contain information about the device models and manufacturers.
In any case, when you need to obtain complete information about any found devices or events, you can go to the web interface page of the Server by using the interface elements under KICS for Networks → Search. The Server web interface page automatically opens the corresponding section (Devices or Events), which will be filtered based on the criteria of the search request or the obtained results.
