Monitoring SVM status

You can receive information about the status of SVMs deployed in the virtual infrastructure by using any network management system that utilizes the SNMP protocol. An SVM is installed with an SNMP agent that can send information about the status of the SVM to the network management system of your organization.

SNMP Agent can relay the following SVM status information:

• RAM consumption by the Protection Server (scanserver service) as a percentage of the maximum value that, when reached, causes the Protection Server to restart.
• Page file usage by the Protection Server (scanserver service) as a percentage of the maximum value that, when reached, causes the Protection Server to restart.
• the number of Light Agents connected to the SVM and installed on virtual machines with desktop operating systems (only virtual machines that are not turned off or stopped are counted);
• the number of Light Agents connected to the SVM and installed on virtual machines with server operating systems (only virtual machines that are not turned off or stopped are counted);
• information about whether virtual machine scan tasks are currently running on the Protection Server installed on this SVM;
• If scan tasks are running: information about the number of virtual machines that are currently waiting to be scanned, and the number of virtual machines that are being simultaneously scanned.
• Information about the status of the following services on SVMs:
  • scanserver (Protection Server)
  • klnagent (Kaspersky Security Center Network Agent)
  • Apache
  • watchdog (wdserver)

  SNMP Agent relays the Running (service is running) or Stopped (service is not running) value for each service.

This data is specific to the Kaspersky Security solution and described in the KSVLA-MIB.txt MIB file, which is included in the solution's distribution kit. You can use this file to receive additional information from SVMs. You can also receive other values of SNMP counters from the standard set of the Net-SNMP package.

You can enable or disable SNMP monitoring in a Protection Server policy using Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console or Kaspersky Security Center Web Console.

If SNMP Monitoring is enabled in the active Protection Server policy, the SNMP agent installed on an SVM relays information about the status of the SVM to the network management system of your organization.

If the policy that enables SNMP monitoring is inactive, information about the status of SVMs is not relayed.
