Protection Server and Light Agent dump files
January 25, 2024
ID 99617
A dump file contains information about the working memory of Kaspersky Security processes at the time the file was created.
Dump files can also contain personal data. It is recommended that you ensure that information is protected against unauthorized access before it is sent to Kaspersky.
Dump files are not sent to Kaspersky automatically.
Protection Server dump files
By default, Protection Server dump files are not created. You can enable or disable logging of dump files.
To enable logging of Protection Server dump files:
- Create an etc/opt/kaspersky/la/dumps_enabled file on the SVM.
- Restart the scanserver service by running the
systemctl restart la-scanservercommand.
By default, all created dump files are located on the SVM in the /var/opt/kaspersky/la/dumps directory. The name of each *.dmp file contains the date and time when the file was created, the process identifier (PID), and the dump number in the session.
You can change the dump logging settings in the ScanServer.conf configuration file (in the [dumps] section).
Access to the dump files requires the password of the SVM root account assigned during Protection Server installation. If you change the default directory for storing dump files, Kaspersky Security does not control access to dump files. If the file system where the specified directory is located supports appropriate access control, the root account permissions are required to access the dump files.
Dump files are automatically deleted when the SVM is deleted.
To disable logging of Protection Server dump files:
- Delete the etc/opt/kaspersky/la/dumps_enabled file.
- Restart the scanserver service by running the
systemctl restart la-scanservercommand.
Light Agent for Linux dump files
Light Agent for Linux dump files can be created on a device on which Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux is installed and used in Light Agent for Linux mode. For more information about Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux dump files, see the Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux Help.
