Kaspersky Security for Virtualization 6.2 Light Agent

Protection Server and Light Agent dump files

A dump file contains information about the working memory of Kaspersky Security processes at the time the file was created.

Dump files may contain personal data. It is recommended that you ensure that information is protected against unauthorized access before it is sent to Kaspersky.

Dump files are not sent to Kaspersky automatically.

By default, dump files are not created. You can enable or disable creation of dump files.

Protection Server dump files

To enable creation of Protection Server dump files:

  1. On the SVM, create the etc/opt/kaspersky/la/dumps_enabled file.
  2. Restart the scanserver service by running the systemctl restart la-scanserver command.

All created dump files are located by default on the SVM in the /var/opt/kaspersky/la/dumps directory. The name of each *.dmp file contains the date and time when the file was created, the process identifier (PID), and the dump number in the session.

You can change the dump logging settings in the ScanServer.conf configuration file (in the [dumps] section).

Access to the dump files requires the password of the SVM root account assigned during Protection Server installation. If you change the default directory for storing dump files, Kaspersky Security does not control access to dump files. If the file system where the specified directory is located supports appropriate access control, the root account permissions are required to access the dump files.

Dump files are automatically deleted when the SVM is deleted.

To disable creation of Protection Server dump files:

  1. Delete the etc/opt/kaspersky/la/dumps_enabled file.
  2. Restart the scanserver service by running the systemctl restart la-scanserver command.

Light Agent dump files

You can enable or disable creation of dump files for Light Agent for Linux and Light Agent for Windows on devices where Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Linux or Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows is installed in Light Agent mode.

For details, see the Help of the application that you are using in Light Agent mode.
