Configuring Update tasks in Web Plug-in

To configure the Copying Updates, Database Update, or Software Modules Update tasks:

1. In the main window of the Web Console, select Devices → Tasks.
2. Click the task name in the list of Kaspersky Security Center tasks.

   The <Task name> window opens.

3. In the Update sources section, configure update source settings:
   • In the Database update source section, specify Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server or Kaspersky update servers as an application update source. You can also create a customized list of update sources: by adding custom HTTP and FTP servers or network folders manually, and setting them as update sources.

     You can specify the usage of Kaspersky update servers, if manually customized servers are not available.

     To use an SMB-shared folder as an update source, you need to specify a user account to start a task.

     When configuring an update task via the Cloud Console, only Distribution points and Kaspersky update servers settings are available to specify the update source.

   • In the Connection settings section, configure the use of a proxy server for connecting to Kaspersky update servers and other servers.
4. In the Optimization section for the Database Update task, you can configure the feature that reduces the workload on the disk subsystem:
   • Disk I/O usage optimization
     

     This check box enables or disables the process whereby the disk subsystem is optimized by storing update files on a virtual drive in RAM.

     If the check box is selected, this function is enabled.

     The check box is cleared by default.

   • RAM used for optimization (400 - 9999 MB)
     

     The amount of RAM (in MB) that the application uses for storing update files. The default amount is 600 MB. The minimum amount is 400 MB.

     When running the Database Update task with the disk subsystem optimization feature enabled, one of the following may occur, depending on the amount of RAM allocated for the feature:

     • If the value is too small, the allocated amount of RAM might be insufficient to complete the database update task (for example, during the first update). This will lead to the completion of the task with an error.

       In this case, it is recommended to allocate more RAM for the disk subsystem optimization feature.

     • If the value is too large, at the start of the Database Update task, it might be impossible to create a virtual drive of a selected size in RAM. The disk subsystem optimization feature therefore automatically disables, and the Database Update task runs without the optimization feature.

       In this case, it is recommended to allocate less RAM for the disk subsystem optimization feature.

5. Configure the task schedule in the Schedule section (you can configure a schedule for all task types except Rollback of Database Update).
6. In the <Task name> window, click OK.
