Kaspersky Unified Monitoring and Analysis Platform
[2.0] Connector, diode type

Connectors of the diode type are used for unidirectional data transmission in industrial ICS networks using data diodes. Settings for a connector of the diode type are described in the following tables.

Basic settings tab

Setting

Description

Name

Unique name of the resource. The maximum length of the name is 128 Unicode characters.

Required setting.

Tenant

The name of the tenant that owns the resource.

Required setting.

Type

Connector type: diode.

Required setting.

Directory with events from the data diode

Full path to the directory on the KUMA collector server, into which the data diode moves files with events from the isolated network segment. After the connector has read these files, the files are deleted from the directory. Maximum length of the path: 255 Unicode characters.

Limitations when using prefixes in paths

Required setting.

Delimiter

The character that marks the boundary between events:

  • \n
  • \t
  • \0

If you do not select a value in this drop-down list, \n is selected by default.

You must select the same value in the Delimiter drop-down list in the settings of the connector and the destination being used to transmit events from the isolated network segment using a data diode.

Description

Description of the resource. The maximum length of the description is 4000 Unicode characters.

Advanced settings tab

Setting

Description

Debug

The switch enables resource logging. The toggle switch is turned off by default.

Number of handlers

Number of handlers that the service can run simultaneously to process response rules in parallel. To determine the number of handlers, you can use the following formula: (<number of CPUs> / 2) + 2.

The value must be a positive integer up to 999.

Poll interval, sec

Interval at which the files are read from the directory containing events from the data diode. The default value is 2 seconds.

Character encoding

Character encoding. The default is UTF-8.

Compression

Drop-down list for configuring Snappy compression:

  • Disabled. This value is selected by default.
  • Use Snappy.

You must select the same value in the Snappy drop-down list in the settings of the connector and the destination being used to transmit events from the isolated network segment using a data diode.
