How to check KEA bases version [Kaspersky Endpoint Agent]

Configuring KEA update task is of crucial importance. Updated KATA telemetry filters, exclusions and performance optimizations are delivered via bases. However, KEA has no transparent means to check bases version locally.
The solution to this demand is to check bases version locally via CLI.
KEA for Windows bases date
From Elevated Command Prompt, execute:
type "C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\Endpoint Agent\4.0\Bases\Current\aptem.stt"
|
The example output is as follows,
;202209190911
|
Format is ;YYYYMMDDHHMM
KEA for Linux (LENA) bases date
Fresh installation
For a fresh LENA installation that has never been updated, the bases "aptem.stt" file might be missing.
From root or using sudo:
sudo cat /var/opt/kaspersky/epagent/update/bases/aptem.stt
|
Output format is the same, ;YYYYMMDDHHMM. Using built-in tools, we can easily make it in a proper way:
sudo cat /var/opt/kaspersky/epagent/update/bases/aptem.stt | sed -E 's/\;([0-9]{8})([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2})/\1 \2:\3/g' | xargs -0 date -d
|
Bonus: LENA's Last update date
Lena's Last update date is stored in epoch format in /opt/kaspersky/epagent/update/last_update. Using built-in tools, we can make it human-readable:
sudo cat /var/opt/kaspersky/epagent/update/last_update | xargs -0 -I% date -d \@%
|
It is also worth mentioning that "Last update date" is relevant but it is still entirely different value than bases date. In case the bases in repository are outdated, Last Update date may be 5 minutes ago, yet bases will remain old.
