Preparing Light Agents for operation

To prepare Light Agents for operation, you must perform the following actions:

1. Configure the settings required for SVM discovery and connection of Light Agents to SVMs. To do this, you need to create a Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux policy in the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console or in the Kaspersky Security Center Web Console. While creating a policy:
   1. At the step of selecting the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux usage mode, select Light Agent mode for protecting virtual environments.
   2. At the next step, select the SVM discovery method and, depending on the selected method, configure the settings for connecting to the Integration Server or specify a list of SVM addresses.

   For more information about creating a Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux policy, see the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux Help.

2. Make sure that a connection is established between Light Agents and the SVMs.

   You can obtain information about the Light Agent connection by using Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux commands on the protected virtual machine:

   • You can view information about connecting to SVMs using the kesl-control [-V] --viis-info command.
   • You can view information about connecting to the Integration Server using the kesl-control [-V] --svm-info command.

   For more details, see the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux Help.

3. Make sure that Light Agents have received information about the license used to activate Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent.

   After activating the solution on SVMs and connecting Light Agents to the SVMs, the Protection Server component sends license information to Light Agents. You can view information about the license used by Light Agent for Linux on the protected virtual machine with the Light Agent using the kesl-control -L --query command. For more details, see the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux Help.

4. Make sure that the database updates required for Light Agent are installed on the protected virtual machines.

   Databases on protected virtual machines are updated using a special Update task, in which a folder on the SVM is specified as the update source. The update task is started automatically.

   You can check how up-to-date the databases are on a protected virtual machine with Light Agent by using the kesl-control --app-info command. For more details, see the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux Help.
