Kaspersky Next XDR Expert

Installing Kaspersky Next XDR Expert

Kaspersky Next XDR Expert is deployed by using KDT. KDT automatically deploys the Kubernetes cluster within which the Kaspersky Next XDR Expert components and other infrastructure components are installed. The steps of the Kaspersky Next XDR Expert installation process do not depend on the selected deployment option.

If you need to install multiple Kubernetes clusters with Kaspersky Next XDR Expert instances, you can use the required number of contexts.

To install Kaspersky Next XDR Expert:

1. Unpack the downloaded distribution package with KDT on the administrator host.
2. Read the End User License Agreement (EULA) of KDT located in the distribution package with the Kaspersky Next XDR Expert components.

   When you start using KDT, you accept the terms of the EULA of KDT.

   You can read the EULA of KDT after the deployment of Kaspersky Next XDR Expert. The file is located in the /home/kdt/ directory of the user who runs the deployment of Kaspersky Next XDR Expert.

3. During installation, KDT downloads missing packages from the OS repositories. Before you start installing Kaspersky Next XDR Expert, run the following command on the target hosts to make sure that the apt/yum cache is up-to-date.

   apt update

4. On the administrator host, run the following commands to start deployment of Kaspersky Next XDR Expert by using KDT. Specify the path to the transport archive with the Kaspersky Next XDR Expert components and the path to the configuration file that you filled out earlier (installation parameter sets for the distributed and single node deployment differ).

   chmod +x kdt

   ./kdt apply -k <path_to_transport_archive> -i <path_to_configuration_file>

   You can install Kaspersky Next XDR Expert without prompting to read the terms of the EULA and the Privacy Policy of OSMP, if you use the --accept-eula flag. In this case you must read the EULA and the Privacy Policy of OSMP before the deployment of Kaspersky Next XDR Expert. The files are located in the distribution package with the Kaspersky Next XDR Expert components.

   If you want to read and accept the terms of the EULA and the Privacy Policy during the deployment, do not use the --accept-eula flag.

5. If you do not use the --accept-eula flag in the previous step, read the EULA and the Privacy Policy of OSMP. The text is displayed in the command line window. Press the space bar to view the next text segment. Then, when prompted, enter the following values:
   1. Enter y if you understand and accept the terms of the EULA.

      Enter n if you do not accept the terms of the EULA.

   2. Enter y if you understand and accept the terms of the Privacy Policy, and if you agree that your data will be handled and transmitted (including to third countries) as described in the Privacy Policy.

      Enter n if you do not accept the terms of the Privacy Policy.

      To use Kaspersky Next XDR Expert, you must accept the terms of the EULA and the Privacy Policy.

   After you accept the EULA and the Privacy Policy, KDT deploys the Kaspersky Next XDR Expert components within the Kubernetes cluster on the target hosts.

   During the Kaspersky Next XDR Expert deployment, a new user is created on the primary Administration Server. To start configuring OSMP Console, this user is assigned the following roles: the XDR role of the Main administrator in the Root tenant and the Kaspersky Security Center role of the Main administrator.

6. View the installation logs of the Bootstrap component in the directory with the KDT utility and obtain diagnostic information about Kaspersky Next XDR Expert components, if needed.
7. Sign in to the OSMP Console and to the KUMA Console.

   The OSMP Console address is https://console.<smp_domain>:443.

   The KUMA Console address is https://kuma.<smp_domain>:7220.

   Addresses contain the smp_domain parameter value specified in the configuration file.

Kaspersky Next XDR Expert is deployed on the target hosts. Install the KUMA services to get started with the solution.
