Configuring event logging to the operating system log

Events that occur during the operation of Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security can be recorded in the operating system log. You can enable or disable the recording of events in this log using the Web Console, Administration Console, or the command line.

If you use the command line to manage the application, the recording of events in the operating system log is disabled by default.

If you use Kaspersky Security Center to manage the application, by default, information about adding and removing license keys and about license term expiration is recorded in the operating system log. You can select the events that you want to be recorded in the operating system log in the properties of the policy that is applied to the application.

Configuring in the Web Console

In the Web Console, you can configure logging events to the operating system log in the policy properties (Application settings → General settings → Application settings).

Clicking the Configure notifications link in the Notifications section opens the Notifications window. In this window, you can use the check boxes to select the events that the application records in the operating system log.

You can select individual event types or all event types with a certain severity level.

Configuring in the Administration Console

In the Administration Console, you can configure logging events to the operating system log in the policy properties (General settings → Application settings).

Clicking Configure under Notifications opens the Notification settings window. In this window, you can use the check boxes to select the events that the application records in the operating system log.

You can select individual event types or all event types with a certain severity level.

Configuring in the command line

You can enable or disable saving events to the operating system log in the command line via the UseSyslog option in the general application settings.

You can edit the option via command line switches or a configuration file that contains all general application settings.

UseSyslog accepts the following values:

• Yes: enable saving events to syslog.
• No (default): disable saving events to syslog.
