About Auditor Daemon

The Auditor Daemon (nvavp) tracks and controls all user activities in NetVault. This process runs on the NetVault Server. The Auditor Daemon validates each user request, and depending on the assigned privileges, allows or denies a request. Audit log messages are stored in the NetVault Database.

By default, the Auditor Daemon logs every user activity regardless of whether the request is granted or denied. It automatically deletes the log messages that are older than 31 days. You can configure the Auditor Daemon to log only failed user requests. You can also modify the default settings to change the maximum age for log messages.

You can modify the Auditor Daemon settings from the Change Settings page.

Configuring Auditor to log only failed requests

Description

Purge entries by age

To purge log entries that are older than the maximum age set for the log messages, leave this check box selected. The maximum log age is specified in the Purge entries that are older than box.

Automatic purging of log messages is disabled if you clear this check box.

NOTE: The audit logs can consume a considerable amount of disk space. Therefore, you must periodically purge the log files. Since you cannot purge the audit logs manually, we recommend that you do not disable this feature.

Purge entries that are older than (days)

Type or select the maximum age for the log messages. The log age is specified in number of days. The default value is 31 days.

Time interval between purges (hours)

Type or select the interval between two purge events for audit logs. The time interval is specified in number of hours. The default interval is 24 hours.

Purge events that are older than (days)
