Creating KUMA tasks in Kaspersky Security Center

If you want to start asset related tasks in Kaspersky Security Center from KUMA, you must create these tasks in Kaspersky Security Center beforehand.

You must create separate tasks for each Kaspersky program that is not compatible with other. For example, create separate tasks for Linux and Windows products or, if you have Kaspersky Endpoint Security for Windows both version 10 and 11, create separate tasks for each of them. For compatible products create tasks for the latest version.

If you have several hierarchically linked Kaspersky Security Center Administration Servers, you should create tasks on the main Administration Server only. Otherwise create tasks on every secondary Kaspersky Security Center Administration Server.

To create Kaspersky Security Center task :

  1. In the Kaspersky Security Center console tree, select the administration group for which you want to create a task.
  2. In the group workspace, select the Tasks tab.
  3. Run the task creation by clicking the Create a task button.

    The New Task Wizard starts.

  4. Follow the instructions of the Wizard to create the required task.

    The name of the task must begin with "KUMA ". For example, "KUMA asset virus scan".

Created task will be displayed in the Tasks section of Kaspersky Security Center console tree. These task can be started from KUMA.
