ESET Inspect Connector is installed on endpoint devices that are monitored by ESET Inspect / ESET Inspect Cloud and collect the data for the ESET Inspect, removes malicious components, and blocks execution of these components.

For the uninstallation process of ESET Inspect Connector follow.


important

Before installing the ESET Inspect Connector, make sure you are using the latest ESET Endpoint Product update.


important

Remember that if the ESET Inspect Connector loses the connection with the ESET Inspect Server, it caches the data locally, and the limit is 1GB. The value is in Bytes, so the actual set value is 1073741824. This can be changed in ESET Inspect Connector.policy.ini file by adding MaxOfflineStorageSize under the [Offline] section.

If you have ESET Inspect Connector.ini file, add to the end of the file:

[Offline]

MaxOfflineStorageSize=value_in_bytes

But ESET Inspect Connector.ini can be changed only in Safe Mode.


note

After installing or upgrading ESET Inspect Connector, there is approximately a 7-minute delay until the connector starts to communicate with ESET Inspect Server. Because of that, you see the warning message in ESET PROTECT that the computer cannot connect to ESET Inspect Server. The ESET Inspect Connector will be immediately visible as active at ESET Inspect Web Console if connected correctly.
