Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.2 Light Agent

Trace files of the tool for managing Integration Server and SVM certificates

Information about the operation of the utility for managing Integration Server and SVM certificates can be logged in trace files. Depending on the operating system of the device on which the utility is running, the files are located at one of the following paths:

  • /var/log/kaspersky/viis/ – on devices with Linux operating systems
  • %ProgramData%\Kaspersky Lab\VIISLA\logs – on devices with Windows operating systems

By default, logging of information to trace files is disabled.

You can enable or disable logging of information to the trace files of the certificate management utility, and configure trace settings in the certificate management utility configuration file appsettings.certificate_manager.json. Depending on the operating system of the device on which the utility is running, the file is located at one of the following paths:

  • /var/opt/kaspersky/viis/common/ – on devices with Linux operating systems
  • %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky VIISLA\ – on devices with Windows operating systems

Trace files of the certificate management tool may contain the following information:

  • Lines used to invoke the tool, including parameters and arguments, except passwords.
  • Tool output lines containing requests to the user.
  • Information about the progress of command execution, including information about errors.

Trace files of the certificate management tool do not contain personal information.

Trace files are moved to the archive when the file size reaches 5 MB. Up to 10 files are stored in the archive folder. Once this number is reached, older files are deleted. Depending on the operating system of the device on which the utility is running, the archive is located at one of the following paths:

  • /var/log/kaspersky/viis/archives/ – on devices with Linux operating systems
  • %ProgramData%\Kaspersky Lab\VIISLA\logs\archives – on devices with Windows operating systems

Access to the folder where the trace files are stored is restricted. On the Linux operating system, only accounts that are in the sudoers group have access to the directory. On Windows operating system, administrator rights are required to access the folder.

If you change the default folder for storing trace files, Kaspersky Security does not control access to trace files. It is recommended to protect the information from unauthorized access.

Trace files are not sent to Kaspersky automatically.
