Optimize KESS from Low end systems (Advices and Solutions)

[Tahmeed702]

Problem Statement: If you face lagging of system or too much system resource usage by KESS then do the following from KSC in KESS policy

1. How can I optimize the Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security application so that it takes less system resources?

To optimize the Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security for Windows application to use fewer system resources, you can adjust several settings:

• Limit CPU Usage for Scanning Threads :

  • Navigate to the Scan settings tab.
  • Enable the option Limit CPU usage for scanning threads.
  • Set an upper limit (in percent) for CPU usage. This can help reduce the load on the CPU during scanning tasks.

• Optimize Disk I/O Usage :

  • When running the Database Update task, you can lower the workload on the disk I/O subsystem by storing update files on a virtual drive in RAM.
  • In the Disk I/O usage optimization section, specify the amount of RAM to be used for optimization (between 400-9999 MB). The default is 512 MB.

• Adjust Number of Working Processes :

  • On the Scalability and interface tab, manually set the number of processes for Real-Time Protection and background On-Demand Scan tasks.
  • Reducing the number of working processes can decrease resource usage.

 

2. How to configure it for low CPU usage and disk usage?

• Low CPU Usage :

  • Go to the Scan settings tab.
  • Check the box for Limit CPU usage for scanning threads.
  • Set the Upper limit (percent) to a lower value to ensure the application uses less CPU.

• Low Disk Usage :

  • For the Database Update task, enable Disk I/O usage optimization.
  • Specify the RAM used for optimization (MB) to store update files temporarily in RAM, reducing disk I/O operations.
