Viewing the protection status and Kaspersky Security for Windows Server information
To view information about the device protection status of Kaspersky Security for Windows Server,

- Status of integration with Kaspersky Security Center: details of the server that has Kaspersky Security Center installed and is connected to the application; information about application tasks controlled by the active policy.
Different colors are used to indicate protection status:
- Green. The task is run in line with the configured settings; protection is active.
- Yellow. The task was not started, is paused or stopped. This means security may be threatened. We recommend that you configure and start the task.
- Red. The task ended with an error, or a security threat was detected while the task was running. We recommend that you start the task or eliminate the detected security threat.
Some details in this block (for example, task names or the number of threats detected) are links that take you to the node of the relevant task or open the task log.
The Kaspersky Security Network Usage section displays the current task status (for example, Running, Stopped or Never performed). The status can have the following values:
- Green. The KSN Usage task is running and URL status requests are sent to KSN.
- Yellow. One of the statements is accepted. However, the task is not running, or URL status requests are not sent to KSN.
