Managing KUMA tasks

When managing the program console, you can use tasks to perform various operations. For example, you can import assets or export KUMA event information to a TSV file.

Viewing the tasks table

The task table contains a list of created tasks and is located in the Task manager section of the program console window. You can view the tasks that were created by you (current user).

A user with the Main administrator role can view the tasks of all users.

The tasks table contains the following information:

• State—the state of the task. One of the following statuses can be assigned to a task:
  • Green dot blinking—the task is active.
  • Completed—the task is complete.
  • Cancel—the task was canceled by the user.
  • Error—the task was not completed because of an error. The error message is displayed if you hover the mouse over the exclamation mark icon.
• Task—the task type. The program provides the following types of tasks:
  • Events export—export KUMA events.
  • Threat Lookup—request data from the Kaspersky Threat Intelligence Portal.
  • Retroscan—task for replaying events.
  • OSMP assets import—imports asset data from Kaspersky Security Center Servers.
  • Accounts import—imports user data from Active Directory.
  • KICS for Networks assets import—imports asset data from KICS for Networks.
  • Repository update—updates the KUMA repository to receive the resource packages from the source specified in settings.
• Created by—the user who created the task. If the task was created automatically, the column will show Scheduled task.

  This column is displayed only for users with the Main administrator and Tenant administrator roles.

• Created—task creation time.
• Updated—time when the task was last updated.
• Tenant—the name of the tenant in which the task was started.

The task date format depends on the localization language selected in the application settings. Possible date format options:

• English localization: YYYY-MM-DD.
• Russian localization: DD.MM.YYYY.
