July 1, 2024

ID 274554

The low resource consumption mode allows you to limit the RAM usage of the Network Agent installed on the client device. By default, the low resource consumption mode is disabled.

In the low resource consumption mode, the following functions are not performed:

  • Network Agent cannot be assigned to act as a distribution point (either manually or automatically).
  • Network Agent does not log information about the status of the Network Agent in a separate text file.
  • Network Agent does not support the offline model of update download.
  • The following components and processes are disabled:
    • Obtaining information about third-party updates and vulnerabilities.
    • Running the KSN Proxy on the distribution point side.
    • Uploading updates to the distribution point repository.
    • Bypassing the DNS server block.

Components and processes resume operation after disabling the low resource consumption mode.

To enable the low resource consumption mode:

  1. Execute the following command in the command line on the client device:

    $ sudo /opt/kaspersky/klnagent64/sbin/klscflag -fset -pv klnagent -n KLNAG_FLAG_TEST_VM_PERF -t d -v 1

  2. Restart the Network Agent by using the following command:

    $ sudo service klnagent64 restart

  3. Check if the low resource consumption mode is enabled by using the following command:
