Managing assets and tags
System administrators can manage assets and tags.
Assets and tags are the primary elements of the monitored asset hierarchical structure. The hierarchical structure is displayed as an asset tree.
Observations of the monitored asset are transmitted to Kaspersky MLAD as tags. Based on the obtained tag values you can perform training and inference of ML models.
In the Assets section of the administrator menu, you can view
and that have been created or uploaded to Kaspersky MLAD. Using the
and 
buttons to the left of the asset names, you can display or hide the asset tree data. You can create assets and tags, and edit tag settings, such as tag blocking thresholds.
Kaspersky MLAD uses connectors to receive telemetry data according to tags from devices of the monitored asset. Tag values, defined within the asset tree and fed into the application, along with their corresponding tag IDs, are stored in Time Series Database. When saving of all tags values is enabled, the Time Series Database service also saves IDs and values of unknown tags (not listed in the asset tree). You can compare the current asset tree structure with the structure in the Time Series Database service and add missing tags to the asset tree, if necessary.
If Kaspersky MLAD detects unknown tags received from external devices through KICS Connector, these tags will be automatically created in the KICS section of the asset tree. The application automatically assigns IDs to tags and fills in the following information received from Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks:
- IDs of the tags
- Names of the tags
- Descriptions of the tags
- Units of measure for the tags
- Names of the assets for which the tags are received
Kaspersky MLAD is compatible with Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks version 4.0 and later.
You can also delete existing tags, import tags and assets from an XLSX file, or export them to a an XLSX file.
