Statuses of client devices in Kaspersky Security Center

A protected virtual machine (virtual machine on which the Light Agent component is installed) and SVM in Kaspersky Security Center are client devices. Information about the state of a client device in Kaspersky Security Center is displayed by the client device status (OK, Critical, or Warning).

The client device status changes to Critical or Warning for the following reasons:

• The status changes according to the rules defined in Kaspersky Security Center. For example, the status changes if a security application is not installed on the device, a virus scan has not been performed in a long time, anti-virus databases are out of date, or the license has expired. For more details about the reasons for status changes and configuring status assignment conditions, please refer to the Kaspersky Security Center help.
• Kaspersky Security Center receives the device status from the managed application, i.e. Kaspersky Security.

  Receiving the device status from a managed application must be enabled in Kaspersky Security Center in the lists of conditions for assigning the Critical and Warning statuses. Conditions for assigning device statuses are configured in the properties window of an administration group.

  The SVM status changes if there is no connection to the Integration Server.

  The status of a protected virtual machine changes in the following cases:

  • There is no connection to the Integration Server.
  • There is no connection to the SVM.
  • A device connection or disconnection was detected.
  • A modification of files or modification of the registry was detected on the virtual machine.
