Trace files of administration plug-ins

If you use the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console to manage Kaspersky Security solution components, information about events that occur during operation of the MMC administration plug-ins may be written to the following files on the device where the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server is installed:

• Trace file of the MMC plug-in for managing the Protection Server. The file name is specified by the user, and the user name and process ID (PID) are added to the specified name. This file contains information about the events that occur during the plug-in operation, in particular, about the operation of the Protection Server policy and tasks.
• Trace file of the MMC plug-in for managing Light Agent for Linux (Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux used in Light Agent mode). The file name contains the version number of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux, file creation date and time, and process ID (PID). This file contains information about the events that occur during the plug-in operation, in particular, about the operation of the Light Agent for Linux policy and tasks.

In addition to general data, these files may contain the following information:

• Personal data, including the last name, first name, and middle name, if such data is part of the path to files.
• The name of the account used to log in to the operating system if the user account name is part of a file name.

By default, trace files of Kaspersky Security MMC plug-ins are not created. You can create all trace files of the MMC plug-ins by using the registry keys. Contact Technical Support representatives for detailed information on how to create trace files.

All created trace files of the MMC plug-ins are located in the folder specified by the user during registry key configuration.

If you use the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console to manage Kaspersky Security solution components, information about events that occur during operation of the web administration plug-ins may be written to the trace files of the web plug-ins:

Trace files for the web plug-ins are created automatically if logging of the Web Console activities is enabled in Kaspersky Security Center Web Console Installation Wizard (for more details, refer to Kaspersky Security Center help).

Trace files of the web plug-ins are stored in the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console installation folder in the "logs" subfolder.

The trace files of the administration plug-ins are saved in a human-readable format. It is recommended that you ensure that information is protected against unauthorized access before it is sent to Kaspersky.

The trace files of the administration plug-ins are not sent to Kaspersky automatically. Trace files are automatically deleted when Kaspersky Security is uninstalled.
