Number of elements in the infected objects queue

Name

Number of elements in the infected objects queue.

Definition

Number of infected objects currently waiting to be processed (disinfected or deleted).

Purpose

This counter can help you detect:

• Interruption of Real-Time Server Protection due to potential failures of file interception dispatchers.
• Overloading of processes due to uneven distribution of processor time among different work processes and Kaspersky Security for Windows Server.
• Virus outbreaks.

Normal / threshold value

This value may be something other than zero while Kaspersky Security for Windows Server is processing infected or probably infected objects but will return to zero after processing is finished / The value remains non-zero for an extended period of time.

Recommended reading interval

1 minute

Recommendations for configuration if value exceeds the threshold

If the value of the counter does not return to zero for an extended period of time:

• Kaspersky Security for Windows Server is not processing objects (the file interception dispatcher may have crashed).

  Restart Kaspersky Security for Windows Server.

• There may be insufficient processor time to process the objects.

  Make sure Kaspersky Security for Windows Server receives additional processor time (by reducing other applications' load on the protected device, for example).

• There has been a virus outbreak.

  A large number of infected or probably infected objects in the Real-Time File Protection task is also a sign of a virus outbreak. You can view information about the number of detected objects in the task statistics or task logs.
