74 Kaspersky Anti-Spam 3.0
The Monitoring:License section in the upper part of the page consists of the
following fields:
• Product – name of the installed product.
• License – current license and information about its limitations.
• Valid till – date when the license will expire. The monitoring system will
begin to produce warnings for the administrator one month before the
license validity period expires.
• License Daemon – status of the licensing service. During normal service
operation the field also contains its process identifier (pid).
The Last License Daemon Events section contains a log of messages returned
by the product licensing module and appended to the system log (syslog). The
messages are arranged in the descending order according to their date; they are
supplemented by respective icons indicating the level of message importance.
The administrator can use the View drop-down list to define the category of
messages, which will be displayed in the log. The values in the drop-down list
and their meaning are identical to the ones described in the section about the
filtration server monitoring page (see section 4.8.1.1 on page 70).
4.8.2. Monitoring system messages and
reports
In addition to the monitoring tools available within the Control Center, Kaspersky
Anti-Spam also includes the sfmonitoring script that provides for constant
monitoring of the anti-spam engine status. The start of that script is performed
automatically using the cron service. After launch, sfmonitoring checks the
filtration server status and sends appropriate notifications to the administrator
whenever it detects any problems.
The monitoring script sends to the administrator messages of two types:
• Messages about new detected errors – a message about detection of a
problem in the operation of the filtration server including a description of
the situation that has occurred. The error message will be sent once. If
the problem is not resolved, it will also be included into the report on
known issues sent once a day.
• Daily reports of known problems – a list of all errors and warnings
known at the moment when the report was sent. The product includes into
the report both new errors and known issues, which have not been
resolved before report generation. The report will be sent once a day at
midnight (in accordance with the server clock settings).
