Anti-Virus Network |
Select the item in the main menu of Dr.Web Security Control Center. Control Menu To view and edit the information in the opened window, use the control menu resided in the left part of the window. Control Menu contains the following components: • • • •Group membership rules (when user groups are selected) •Dr.Web Proxy server (when Proxy servers or their group are selected) •Dr.Web Proxy server (when Proxy server or the group and its subgroups are selected) •—allows to configure the period of sending the statistics on detected threats for stations under UNIX system-based OS. •The list of anti-virus components for operating system of selected station or by list of operating systems when a group is selected.
Hierarchical List of Anti-Virus Network In the middle part of the window there is a hierarchical list of the anti-virus network. The list (catalog) represents the tree structure of the anti-virus network elements. The nodes in this structure are groups and workstations within these groups. You can perform the following through the hierarchical list elements: •Left-click the name of a group or station to display the control menu (at the left part of the window) of corresponding element and brief element information on a property pane (at the right part of the window). •Left-click the icon of the group to open or to hide the contents of a group. •Left-click the icon of the station to open the properties sheet of this station.
The appearance of the icon depends on the type and status of this element (see table below). Icons of elements in the hierarchical list
Management of the anti-virus network catalog elements is carried out via the toolbar of the hierarchical list. The toolbar of the hierarchical list contains the following elements: —manage the general parameters of the hierarchical list. Select the corresponding item in the drop-down list: —open settings of the station or group in the right pane of Dr.Web Security Control Center. —remove an items from the hierarchical list. Select the items in the list and click . Remove membership rules—remove rules for automatic including stations to groups. —determine the selected group as primary for all workstations in it. —assign a primary group for selected workstations. If a group is selected in the hierarchical list instead of workstations, the specified primary group will be assigned to all workstations from this group. Merge stations—join workstations under a single account in the hierarchical list. It can be used if a workstation had been registered under several accounts. —remove individual settings of selected objects. Settings of the parent group will be used. All workstations inside a group will also have their settings removed. Send message to stations—send notifications to users of workstations. —delete the user password for access to anti-virus components settings on selected stations. The option is available only for stations under Windows OS. —launch reboot station process remotely. —remove the Agents and anti-virus software from the selected workstation(s) or group(s). —open the Network scanner for Agent installation to the selected stations. This option is enabled only if new approved stations or stations with deinstalled Agent are selected. Restore deleted stations—restore stations deleted earlier. This option is active only if stations from the subgroup of the group are selected. Mail installation files—send installation files for stations selected in the list to email addresses, specified in this section parameters. . This option is enabled when you select a neighbor Server in the anti-virus network tree. —add a new element of anti-virus network. Click the corresponding item in the drop-down menu: —add a new station (see , p. Creation of a New User Account). Create group—add a new group. Create neighbor—add a neighbor Dr.Web Server connection. Create policy—add a new policy to set stations settings. —add a new account to connect the Proxy server (see , p. Creating of the Proxy Server Account). : —save common data about selected stations of the anti-virus network to CSV file. —save common data about selected stations of the anti-virus network to HTML file. —save common data about selected stations of the anti-virus network to XML file. —save common data about selected stations of the anti-virus network to PDF file.
—save the configuration of the selected objects of anti-virus network to a file. For this option, you will be prompt to select configuration sections to save. —load the configuration of the selected objects of anti-virus network from a file. For this option, you will be prompt to select the file to load the configuration and also loaded configuration sections. —save the anti-virus components statistics for the selected objects of anti-virus network to a file. For this option, you will be prompt to select the statistic sections to save and the export format. —propagate configuration of the selected objects to other objects of anti-virus network. For this option, you will be prompt to select objects to propagate configuration to and also propagated configuration sections. —change the appearance of groups in the list. Select one of the following in the drop-down list (the icon of the group will change, see table above): —means that the group will not be displayed in the hierarchical list. —means that the group will not be displayed if the group is empty (does not contain any workstations). —means that the group will always be displayed in the hierarchical list. —manage the components on the workstation. Select the necessary action in the drop-down menu: —force to recover the state of the components that operating with errors. Recovering uses the product revision that is currently installed on the station. Interrupt running components—prescribes to stop operating of all running anti-virus components at the station. Scan—scan stations in one of the modes, selected in the drop-down menu: . In this mode the following objects are scanned: •main memory (RAM), •boot sectors of all disks, •autorun objects, •root directory of the boot sector, •root directory of Windows OS installation disk, •system directory of Windows OS, •My documents folder, •temporary directory of the system, •temporary directory of the user. . In this mode all hard disks and removable disks (including the boot sectors) will be fully scanned. . In this mode you will be able to choose files and folders to scan. —manage newbies list—stations, which registration is not approved (see the New Stations Approval Policy section for more details). This option is active only if stations of the subgroup of the group are selected. When the registration is approved, stations will be automatically removed from the pre-installed group. To manage stations registration, select one of the following options from the drop-down list: —confirm access of the station to the Server and to set a primary group from the offered list. —cancel the action on unapproved stations which was specified earlier to execute at the moment when the station connects to the Server. —forbid access of the station to the Server. —adjust the appearance of the anti-virus network tree. To enable parameter, set the corresponding flags in the drop-down menu: •for groups: ▫—duplicate displaying of a station in the list if a stations is a member of several groups simultaneously (only for groups under the white folder icon, see table above). If the flag is set, the station will be shown in all member groups. If the flag is cleared, the station will be shown only once in the list. ▫—show all groups included in the anti-virus network. If you clear the flag, all empty groups (not containing stations) will be hidden. It may be convenient to remove extra data, for example, when there are many empty groups. •for the Server clients (stations, Proxy servers and neighbor Servers): ▫—show clients unique identifiers. ▫—show clients names, if such are given.
▫—show clients IP-addresses. ▫—show names or addresses of Dr.Web Servers to which stations are connected. Relevant to the stations within Dr.Web Servers cluster. ▫—show severity of active stations status. At this, the color differentiation will be used for stations depending on their status (see table above). If the option is disabled, for station statuses with the and icons, the common icon will be displayed. •for all elements: ▫—show the marker which shows whether individual settings are present on the icons of groups and the Server clients: stations, Proxy servers and neighbor Servers. ▫—show descriptions of groups and the Server clients: stations, Proxy servers and neighbor Servers (the descriptions are set in the properties of an element). ▫—show the number of the Server clients: stations, Proxy servers and neighbor Servers for all the groups of an anti-virus network into which these clients are included. ▫—show the marker on stations icons which are added to groups automatically according to the membership rules, also on groups icons stations of which are added automatically. —change the parameter that is used for sorting and the sorting order of the Server clients: stations, Proxy servers and neighbor Servers in the anti-virus tree. •To select the parameter to use for sorting, set the one of the following flags (only one parameter can be selected): ▫—sort by unique identifiers of clients. ▫—sort by names of clients. ▫—sort by network addresses of clients. Clients without network address will be displayed in random order without sorting. ▫—sort by date of creation of a client account on the Server. ▫—sort by date of last connection of clients to the Server. •To select the sorting order, set the one of the following flags: ▫. ▫.
The property pane shows the properties and settings of workstations. To display the property pane 1.Select the name of a station or a group in the hierarchical list. 2.A pane with properties of selected workstation or group opens in the right pane of Dr.Web Security Control Center.
