Notifications and device statuses

This section contains information on how to view notifications, configure notification delivery, use device statuses, and enable changing device statuses.

About notifications

Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console provides the capability to monitor your organization's network by sending notifications about any event that you consider important. For any event you can configure notifications by email.

Upon receiving notifications by email, you can decide on your response to an event. This response has to be one that is the most appropriate for your organization's network.

Configuring the switching of device statuses

You can change conditions to assign the Critical or Warning status to a device.

To enable changing the device status to Critical:

1. In the main menu, go to Assets (Devices) → Hierarchy of groups.
2. In the list of groups that opens, click the link with the name of a group for which you want to change switching the device statuses.
3. In the properties window that opens, select the Device status tab.
4. In the left pane, select Critical.
5. In the right pane, in the Set to Critical if these are specified section, enable the condition to switch a device to the Critical status.

   You can change only settings that are not locked in the parent policy.

Configuring notification delivery

You can configure email notification about events occurring in Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console.

To configure notification delivery of events occurring in Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console:

1. In the main menu, click the settings icon () next to the name of the required Administration Server.

   The Administration Server properties window opens with the General tab selected.

2. Click the Notification section, and in the right pane define the email notification settings:

   Recipients (email addresses)

   The email addresses to which the Kaspersky Security Center Cloud Console will send notifications. You can specify multiple addresses in this field, by separating them with semicolons.

   You can specify no more than 24 email addresses.

3. Click the Send test message button to check whether you configured notifications properly: the application sends a test notification to the email addresses that you specified.
