Manually checking the connection with the Administration Server. Klnagchk utility

The Network Agent distribution kit includes the klnagchk utility, which is intended for checking connection to the Administration Server.

After installation of the Network Agent, the utility is located in the /opt/kaspersky/klnagent/bin directory in 32-bit operating systems and in the /opt/kaspersky/klnagent64/bin directory in 64-bit operating systems. Depending on the utilized keys, the Network Agent performs the following actions when started:

• Displays or writes to the event log file the values of the settings for connecting the Network Agent installed on the client computer to the Administration Server.
• Records Network Agent statistics (since the last time the component was started) and utility operation results to the event log file, or displays the information on the screen.
• Attempts to establish a connection between Network Agent and the Administration Server.
• If the connection attempt fails, the utility sends an ICMP packet to check the status of the computer on which the Administration Server is installed.
