NAS

The tasks under this heading are used to create auditing templates for NAS devices. After creating an EMC, Fluid File System, or NetApp auditing template, see Templates with defined agents for information on immediately enabling the auditing defined in these templates.

See the following administration task descriptions for more information:

•
EMC auditing
•
NetApp auditing
•
Fluid File System (FluidFS) auditing

EMC auditing

To enable EMC auditing, you must first create an EMC Auditing template for each EMC file server (CIFS) to be audited. Each auditing template defines the location of the EMC file server to be audited, the auditing scope, and the Change Auditor agents that are to receive the EMC events.

* 
NOTE: There can be only one EMC Auditing template per EMC file server (CIFS). If you want to audit multiple audit paths, use the same template to specify all the audit paths to be audited on the selected EMC file server.
EMC Auditing page

The EMC Auditing page is displayed when EMC is selected from the Auditing task list in the navigation pane of the Administration Tasks page, and contains an expandable view of all the EMC Auditing templates that have been previously defined. From this page you can launch the EMC Auditing wizard to specify the EMC file server (CIFS) to be audited, the auditing scope and the agents that are to receive the EMC events. You can also edit existing templates, disable/enable templates, and remove templates that are no longer being used.

* 
NOTE: For more information, including a full description of the page, refer to the Quest Change Auditor for EMC User Guide.

Description
Procedure

Welcome

Specify the EMC File Server (CIFS) to be audited.
1
Select the EMC File Server (CIFS) from the drop-down list, or enter the NetBIOS name or IP address of the EMC file server (CIFS) to be audited.
2
Click Next.

File Path Selection (File)

Provide the name and path of a file(s) to be audited. Use the Events tab to select vital file events.
1
For the audit path, select File.
2
Enter the file name and path (i.e., <ShareName>\<Path>\<FileName>) to be audited.
Isilon file server auditing: When specifying a file path to be audited, you should use the file’s absolute path. Path values in Isilon events captured by Change Auditor are also represented in absolute paths. For example, if a share called ‘MyTestShare’ is sharing the path ‘\\isilon\ifs\test’, and you want to audit the file MyDoc.docx inside that share, add the path ‘ifs\test\MyDoc.docx’ in the auditing template.
Change Auditor uses the default ‘ifs’ share for Isilon file/folder permission change events. If you have renamed this share, please specify the new share name on this page to continue support for these events. To change the default ifs share name, click the "Isilion admin share name" link on the top right corner of the page.

* 
NOTE: For NetApp 7-mode, you must enable TLS communication on the filer to allow secure communication with the Change Auditor client using the following command: options tls.enable on
* 
NOTE: NetApp events initiated through the NFS protocol are not supported.

Fluid File System (FluidFS) auditing

To enable FluidFS auditing, you must first create an auditing template for each cluster to audit. Each auditing template defines the location of the cluster to be audited, the auditing scope, and the agents that are to receive the events.

* 
NOTE: There can be only one FluidFS auditing template per cluster. If you want to audit multiple audit paths, use the same template to specify all the audit paths to be audited on the selected cluster.
* 
NOTE: Auditing is supported only for the CIFS/SMB protocol. Events initiated through the NFS or FTP protocols are not supported.

Before you begin:

•
Verify that Dell Enterprise Manager (and Data Collector service) is properly installed and configured.
•
Verify that the FluidFS cluster you plan to audit is registered with Enterprise Manager.
•
Ensure you have Administrator rights to Enterprise Manager.
•
Ensure that the Change Auditor Configuration Service for Dell FluidFS is installed.

For installation and configuration details, see the Change Auditor for Fluid File System User Guide.

FluidFS Auditing page

The FluidFS Auditing page displays when you select FluidFS from the Auditing task list in the navigation pane of the Administration Tasks tab. From this page you can open the FluidFS Auditing wizard to specify the FluidFS cluster to be audited, the auditing scope and the agents that are to receive the events. You can also edit existing templates, disable/enable templates, and remove templates that are no longer being used.

11
Click Add to open the Change Auditor Agents dialog. Select the agents to be used.
12
Click OK to close the dialog and add the agents to the selection list.

Encryption Settings

Turn encryption on to protect the data as it passes between the FluidFS cluster and the agents.

NOTE: Encryption settings are not maintained when a template is exported. You will need to re-configure this setting on any previously deleted templates after it has been imported.
NOTE: The domain of the coordinator must trust the domain of the specified user account (one-way trust).

 
13
To enable encryption, select Turn on encryption for auditing, click the Set credentials for encryption, and enter the service account credentials for the FluidFS cluster to use when encrypting events.
When required, you can turn off the encryption through the Enterprise Manager client. If you turn off encryption, you need to refresh Change Auditors’ configuration so that it is synchronized with the FluidFS cluster.
To refresh the configuration, save the FluidFS template after the change or run the Update-CAFluidFSConfiguration command. The FluidFS.Configuration.Service.PowerShell module is located in the install directory of the Change Auditor Configuration Service for Dell FluidFS.
