Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.2 Light Agent

Configuring SVM discovery settings

You can configure the settings for detection of SVMs by Light Agents in the Light Agent policy (in the policy of the application running in Light Agent mode). The SVM discovery settings for Light Agent for Windows are also available in the local interface of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows.

You can configure the following settings for discovery of SVMs by Light Agents:

• Method used by Light Agents to discover SVMs:
  • Use Integration Server

    If this option is selected, Light Agent connects to Integration Server to get a list of SVMs available for connection and their details.

    If you want to use the Integration Server, configure the settings for connecting Light Agents to the Integration Server.

  • Use a custom list of SVM addresses

    If this option is selected, you can specify the list of SVMs to which Light Agents managed by the specified policy can connect. Light Agents will connect only to the SVMs specified in the list.

    If you select the Use a custom list of SVM addresses option, the Light Agent is using the extended SVM selection algorithm, and large infrastructure protection mode is enabled on an SVM, then connecting a Light Agent to this SVM is only possible if the Light Agent ignores the SVM path. In the SVM selection algorithm section, you need to set the SVM path setting to Ignore.

• If you selected the Use a custom list of SVM addresses option, you need to create a list of SVMs to which Light Agents managed by the policy can connect. You can add multiple SVM IP addresses or FQDNs to the list.

  In the list of SVM addresses, specify only full domain names (FQDN) that are matched by a single IP address. Using a fully qualified domain name that corresponds to multiple IP addresses can lead to errors in the solution.

For details about configuring the applications running in Light Agent mode, see the Help for the relevant application.

In a large-sized virtual infrastructure running the OpenStack platform, VK Cloud platform, or TIONIX Cloud Platform, if you selected the Use Integration Server option, you can configure the size of the available SVMs list that the Integration Server relays to Light Agents.

To configure the size of the list of available SVMs:

1. Open the Integration Server configuration file (appsettings.json) for editing. Depending on the version of the Integration Server, the file is located at one of the following paths:
   • /var/opt/kaspersky/viis/common/ for the Linux-based Integration Server
   • %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Kaspersky Lab\Kaspersky VIISLA\ for the Windows-based Integration Server.
2. Specify the OpenStackMaxSvmCountToReturn setting in the HypervisorSpecificSettings:Openstack section:
   • If you want to limit the size of available SVM list, which the Integration Server transmits to Light Agents, then specify number of SVMs, whose information must be included into this list.
   • If you want the Integration Server to transfer full list of available SVMs to Light Agents, specify a value of 0.
3. Save the appsettings.json file.
4. Restart the Integration Server.
