Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Linux

Configuring Inventory in the Administration Console

In the Kaspersky Security Center Administration Console, you can perform an inventory of the applications for the protected device using the Inventory task.

You can create and run Inventory user tasks. You can configure the scan settings by editing the settings of the tasks.

The Kaspersky Security Center database can store information about up to 150,000 processed files. When this number of records is reached, new files will not be processed. To resume the Inventory task, delete the files registered in the Kaspersky Security Center database as a result of previous inventories, from the device where Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security is installed.
