Blocking frequent events

This section provides information about managing frequent events blocking and about removing blocking of frequent events.

About blocking frequent events

A managed application, for example, Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows, installed on a single or several managed devices can send a lot of events of the same type to the Administration Server. Receiving frequent events may overload the Administration Server database and overwrite other events. Administration Server starts blocking the most frequent events when the number of all the received events exceeds the specified limit for the database.

Administration Server blocks the frequent events from receiving automatically. You cannot block the frequent events yourself, or choose which events to block.

If you want to find out if an event is blocked, you can view the notification list or you can check if this event is present in the Blocking frequent events section of the Administration Server properties. If the event is blocked, you can do the following:

• If you want to prevent overwriting the database, you can continue blocking such type of events from receiving.
• If you want, for example, to find the reason of sending the frequent events to the Administration Server, you can unblock frequent events and continue receiving the events of this type anyway.
• If you want to continue receiving the frequent events until they become blocked again, you can remove from blocking the frequent events.

Managing frequent events blocking

Administration Server blocks the automatic receiving of frequent events, but you can unblock and continue to receive frequent events. You can also block receiving frequent events that you unblocked before.

To manage frequent events blocking:

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

   The Administration Server properties window opens.

2. On the General tab, select the Blocking frequent events section.
3. In the Blocking frequent events section:
   • If you want to unblock the receiving of frequent events:
     1. Select the frequent events you want to unblock, and then click the Exclude button.
     2. Click the Save button.
   • If you want to block receiving frequent events:
     1. Select the frequent events you want to block, and then click the Block button.
     2. Click the Save button.

Administration Server receives the unblocked frequent events and does not receive the blocked frequent events.

Removing blocking of frequent events

You can remove blocking for frequent events and start receiving them until Administration Server blocks these frequent events again.

To remove blocking for frequent events:

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

   The Administration Server properties window opens.

2. On the General tab, select the Blocking frequent events section.
3. In the Blocking frequent events section, select the frequent event types for which you want to remove blocking.
4. Click the Remove from blocking button.

The frequent event is removed from the list of frequent events. Administration Server will receive events of this type.
