Preparing Light Agents for operation

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

1. If you want to remotely manage the operation of Light Agents, create Kaspersky Security Center policies:
   • Policy for Light Agent for Windows, if you want to manage the operation of Light Agents installed on protected virtual machines running Windows guest operating systems.
   • Policy for Light Agent for Linux, if you want to manage the operation of Light Agents installed on protected virtual machines running Linux guest operating systems.
2. Configure SVM discovery settings for Light Agents:
   • You can configure the SVM discovery settings for Light Agents for Windows when creating a Light Agent for Windows policy, in policy properties, or in the local interface of Light Agent.
   • You can configure the SVM discovery settings for Light Agents for Linux when creating a Light Agent for Linux policy or in the Light Agent for Linux policy properties.
3. Make sure that the database updates required for Light Agent are installed on the protected virtual machines.

   The update task is used for updating databases on protected virtual machines. The update task is started automatically.

   Information about running the update task on a virtual machine with the Light Agent for Windows component is displayed in the Reports and Storages window in the Update section after the task is run for the first time.

   You can verify that the application databases are up to date on a virtual machine with the Light Agent for Linux component by using the lightagent productinfo command. Make sure that the command returns information about the application databases, and that the databases are up to date. If necessary, you can start the update task by using the lightagent update command.
