Managing the Sensor component

The Sensor component receives data from network traffic and mail traffic.

You can install the Sensor and Central Node components on the same server or on separate servers. The Sensor component installed on a standalone server must be connected to the server with the Central Node component. A connection request is created during component installation.

If the Sensor component is installed on the same server as the Central Node component, you can configure the Sensor component in the web interface of Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform. If the Sensor component is installed on a standalone server, in the web interface of Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform, you can only process connection requests from this component and view information about the component in the table of servers with the Sensor component. Other component settings can be edited in the administrator menu.

If you are using the distributed solution and multitenancy mode, perform the necessary actions to connect to PCN or SCN servers.
