Preparing Light Agents for operation

To prepare Light Agents for operation, you must perform the following actions:

1. Configure the settings required for SVM discovery and connection of Light Agents to SVMs.

   To configure the settings for Light Agent for Linux, you need to create a policy for Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux running in Light Agent mode.

   To configure the settings for Light Agent for Windows, you need to create a policy for Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows running in Light Agent mode.

   Following the instructions in the New Policy Wizard, you need to select the SVM discovery method and, depending on the selected method, configure the settings for connecting to the Integration Server or specify a list of SVM addresses.

2. Make sure that Light Agents connect to SVMs and to the Integration Server.
3. Make sure that Light Agents have received information about the license used to activate Kaspersky Security for Virtualization Light Agent.

   After activating the solution on SVMs and connecting Light Agents to the SVMs, the Protection Server component sends license information to Light Agents. You can view information about the license that Light Agent uses. You can view it on a protected virtual machine with Light Agent.

4. Make sure that the database updates required for Light Agent are installed on the protected virtual machines.

   Databases on protected virtual machines are updated using a special Update task, in which a folder on the SVM is specified as the update source. The update task is started automatically.

   You can check how up-to-date the databases are on a protected virtual machine with Light Agent:

   • For Light Agent for Linux: using the command kesl-control --app-info.
   • For Light Agent for Windows: in the local interface of Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows.

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