## Core Configuration

### Basic Profile Structure

Create a YAML profile defining protection layers:

```yaml
profile_name: "production_standard"
version: "16.0.1195"
enforcement_level: "adaptive"

protection_layers:
  executable_guard:
    state: enabled
    action_on_threat: "quarantine"
    exceptions:
      - path: "/opt/approved_software/*"
      - path: "C:\\Program Files\\TrustedApp\\*"
  
  memory_scanner:
    state: enabled
    sensitivity: "high"
    scan_interval_seconds: 300
  
  usb_filter:
    state: enabled
    policy: "block_unknown"
    allow_list:
      - vendor_id: "0x0781"
      - vendor_id: "0x13FE"
    
  web_filter:
    state: enabled
    categories_blocked:
      - "malware_distribution"
      - "phishing"
      - "cryptomining_scripts"

logging:
  verbose: true
  retention_days: 90
  forward_to:
    - syslog_server: "${SYSLOG_SERVER}:514"
```

### Applying Profiles

```bash
# Apply profile to local endpoint
k7-console --apply-profile production_standard.yaml --local

# Apply to remote endpoint
k7-console --apply-profile production_standard.yaml \
           --target 192.168.1.100 \
           --auth-file "${K7_ADMIN_CERT}" \
           --log-level verbose \
           --timeout 120

# Batch deployment to multiple endpoints
k7-console --apply-profile production_standard.yaml \
           --target-file endpoints.txt \
           --parallel 10 \
           --auth-file "${K7_ADMIN_CERT}"
```

## AI Integration

### OpenAI Configuration

```yaml
ai_integration:
  incident_analysis:
    provider: "openai"
    model: "gpt-4-turbo"
    api_key: "${OPENAI_API_KEY}"
    max_tokens: 2000
    temperature: 0.3
    endpoint: "https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions"
  
  automated_response:
    enabled: true
    confidence_threshold: 0.85
```

### Claude Configuration

```yaml
ai_integration:
  incident_analysis:
    provider: "claude"
    model: "claude-3-opus-20240229"
    api_key: "${ANTHROPIC_API_KEY}"
    max_tokens: 1500
    endpoint: "https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages"
  
  automated_response:
    enabled: true
    webhook_retries: 3
```

### Testing AI Integration

```bash
# Test OpenAI connection
k7-console --test-ai-integration \
           --provider openai \
           --api-key "${OPENAI_API_KEY}" \
           --model gpt-4-turbo

# Test Claude connection
k7-console --test-ai-integration \
           --provider claude \
           --api-key "${ANTHROPIC_API_KEY}" \
           --model claude-3-opus-20240229
```

## Key Commands

### Status and Monitoring

```bash
# Check protection status
k7-console --status

# View active threats
k7-console --list-threats --last 24h

# Export security logs
k7-console --export-logs \
           --start-date "2026-03-01" \
           --end-date "2026-03-31" \
           --format json \
           --output security_logs.json

# Real-time monitoring
k7-console --monitor --refresh 5
```

### Policy Management

```bash
# List all profiles
k7-console --list-profiles

# Validate profile syntax
k7-console --validate-profile production_standard.yaml

# Show current applied profile
k7-console --show-active-profile

# Rollback to previous profile
k7-console --rollback-profile --version previous
```

### Threat Response

```bash
# Quarantine specific file
k7-console --quarantine /path/to/suspicious/file.exe

# Release quarantined item
k7-console --release-quarantine --id QID-20260312-001

# Force full system scan
k7-console --scan-now --type full --priority high

# Update threat intelligence
k7-console --update-threat-intel --force
```

## Common Patterns

### Multi-Environment Deployment

```yaml
# dev_profile.yaml
profile_name: "development"
enforcement_level: "permissive"
protection_layers:
  executable_guard:
    state: enabled
    action_on_threat: "alert_only"
  memory_scanner:
    state: enabled
    sensitivity: "low"
  usb_filter:
    state: disabled

# prod_profile.yaml
profile_name: "production"
enforcement_level: "strict"
protection_layers:
  executable_guard:
    state: enabled
    action_on_threat: "quarantine"
  memory_scanner:
    state: enabled
    sensitivity: "high"
  usb_filter:
    state: enabled
    policy: "block_all"
```

```bash
# Deploy based on environment
if [ "$ENVIRONMENT" = "production" ]; then
  k7-console --apply-profile prod_profile.yaml --target-file prod_endpoints.txt
else
  k7-console --apply-profile dev_profile.yaml --target-file dev_endpoints.txt
fi
```

### Webhook Notifications

```yaml
notifications:
  webhook:
    enabled: true
    url: "${SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL}"
    events:
      - "threat_detected"
      - "quarantine_action"
      - "policy_violation"
    payload_template: |
      {
        "text": "K7 Security Alert: {{event_type}}",
        "blocks": [
          {
            "type": "section",
            "text": {
              "type": "mrkdwn",
              "text": "*Endpoint:* {{endpoint_id}}\n*Threat:* {{threat_name}}\n*Action:* {{action_taken}}"
            }
          }
        ]
      }
```

### Centralized Logging

```yaml
logging:
  verbose: true
  retention_days: 365
  forward_to:
    - syslog_server: "${SYSLOG_SERVER}:514"
    - elasticsearch:
        endpoint: "${ELASTICSEARCH_URL}"
        index_prefix: "k7-security"
        auth:
          username: "${ES_USERNAME}"
          password: "${ES_PASSWORD}"
    - splunk:
        hec_endpoint: "${SPLUNK_HEC_URL}"
        token: "${SPLUNK_HEC_TOKEN}"
```

## Advanced Configuration

### Custom Exception Rules

```yaml
protection_layers:
  executable_guard:
    state: enabled
    exceptions:
      - path: "C:\\DevTools\\*"
        reason: "Development environment"
        expires: "2026-12-31"
      - hash: "sha256:a1b2c3d4e5f6..."
        reason: "Approved internal tool"
      - signature: "CN=MyCompany,O=MyOrg"
        reason: "Code-signed by internal CA"
```

### Network Segmentation

```yaml
web_filter:
  state: enabled
  network_zones:
    - name: "corporate"
      networks:
        - "10.0.0.0/8"
        - "172.16.0.0/12"
      policy: "allow_all"
    
    - name: "guest"
      networks:
        - "192.168.100.0/24"
      policy: "restricted"
      categories_blocked:
        - "social_media"
        - "streaming"
```

### Scheduled Scanning

```yaml
scheduled_tasks:
  - name: "weekly_full_scan"
    type: "full_scan"
    schedule: "0 2 * * 0"  # Sunday 2 AM
    priority: "low"
  
  - name: "daily_quick_scan"
    type: "quick_scan"
    schedule: "0 12 * * *"  # Daily noon
    priority: "normal"
```

## Troubleshooting

### Agent Not Responding

```bash
# Check agent service status
k7-console --service-status

# Restart agent service (Windows)
net stop K7Agent
net start K7Agent

# Restart agent service (Linux/macOS)
sudo systemctl restart k7-agent

# View agent logs
k7-console --view-logs --component agent --lines 100
```

### Profile Application Failures

```bash
# Validate profile before applying
k7-console --validate-profile myprofile.yaml --verbose

# Check profile compatibility
k7-console --check-compatibility \
           --profile myprofile.yaml \
           --platform windows \
           --version 11

# Apply with dry-run
k7-console --apply-profile myprofile.yaml --dry-run
```

### Performance Issues

```yaml
# Reduce memory scanner frequency
protection_layers:
  memory_scanner:
    state: enabled
    sensitivity: "medium"
    scan_interval_seconds: 600  # Increase from 300
    exclude_processes:
      - "node.exe"
      - "docker.exe"
```

```bash
# View resource usage
k7-console --resource-usage

# Optimize database
k7-console --optimize-database

# Clear old quarantine items
k7-console --purge-quarantine --older-than 30d
```

### AI Integration Issues

```bash
# Test API connectivity
curl -X POST https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${OPENAI_API_KEY}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"gpt-4-turbo","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"test"}]}'

# View AI integration logs
k7-console --view-logs --component ai-integration --lines 50

# Disable AI temporarily
k7-console --toggle-ai-integration --disable
```

### Network Connectivity

```bash
# Test endpoint connectivity
k7-console --test-connection --target 192.168.1.100 --port 4451

# Check firewall rules
k7-console --check-firewall

# View network statistics
k7-console --network-stats --last 1h
```

## Best Practices

1. **Always validate profiles** before deployment: `k7-console --validate-profile`
2. **Use environment-specific profiles** (dev, staging, prod)
3. **Enable verbose logging** during initial deployment
4. **Test AI integrations** in non-production first
5. **Set appropriate retention policies** to manage storage
6. **Document exception rules** with reasons and expiration dates
7. **Monitor resource usage** on endpoints regularly
8. **Keep threat intelligence updated** via scheduled tasks
9. **Use centralized logging** for compliance and forensics
10. **Implement webhook notifications** for critical events
