Network Agent
Interaction between Administration Server and devices is performed by the Network Agent component of Kaspersky Security Center Linux. Network Agent must be installed on all devices on which Kaspersky Security Center Linux is used to manage Kaspersky applications.
Network Agent is installed on a device as a service, with the following set of attributes:
- With the name "Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent"
- Set to start automatically when the operating system starts
- Using the LocalSystem account
A device that has Network Agent installed is called a managed device or device. You can install Network Agent from one of the following sources:
- Installation package in Administration Server storage (you must have Administration Server installed)
- Installation package located at Kaspersky web servers
When you install Administration Server, the server version of Network Agent is automatically installed together with Administration Server. Nevertheless, to manage the Administration Server device as any other managed device, install Network Agent for Linux on the Administration Server device. In this case, Network Agent for Linux is installed and works independently from the server version of Network Agent that you installed together with Administration Server.
The names of the process that Network Agent starts are as follows:
- klnagent64.service (for a 64-bit operating system)
- klnagent.service (for a 32-bit operating system)
Network Agent synchronizes the managed device with the Administration Server. We recommend that you set the synchronization interval (also referred to as the heartbeat) to 15 minutes per 10,000 managed devices.
