Change Auditor for Fluid File System 7.1.1 - Event Reference Guide

Introduction

Traditional approaches to handling file data growth have proven to be costly, hard to manage, and difficult to scale effectively and efficiently. Dell™ Fluid File System (FluidFS) is designed to go beyond the limitations of traditional file systems with a flexible architecture that enables organizations to scale out and scale up non-disruptively. It addresses organizational challenges by allowing you to gain control of data, reduce complexity, and meet growing data demands over time.

The FluidFS architecture is an open-standards based network attached storage (NAS) file system that supports industry standard protocols including NFS v4 and CIFS/SMB v2.1. It provides innovative features proving high availability, performance, efficient data management, data integrity, and data protection.

Specifically, the FluidFS technology:

•
Extends NAS capabilities across Dell’s primary storage arrays, Compellent and EqualLogic
•
Scales capacity and performance non-disruptively without forklift upgrades
•
Removes scalability limitations associated with traditional monolithic NAS architectures
•
Ensures efficiency by leveraging a shared infrastructure for block and file data
•
Supports business continuity through a resilient, purpose-built hardware architecture

Change Auditor for Fluid File System tracks, audits and alerts on file and folder changes in real time, translating events into simple text and eliminating the time and complexity required by system provided auditing. You can set the auditing scope on an individual file or folder or an entire file system recursive or non-recursive. You can also include or exclude certain files or folders from the audit scope in order to ensure a faster and more efficient audit process.

* 
NOTE: Change Auditor for Fluid File System audits only SMB operations on FluidFS clusters.

NOTE: FluidFS auditing and event logging are only available if you have licensed Change Auditor for Fluid File System and have applied a FluidFS auditing template for each file system to be audited.
