Introduction

Quest® Change Auditor for NetApp® tracks, audits, reports, 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 to ensure a fast and efficient audit process.

Change Auditor for NetApp captures audited events and provides detailed information about the following filer activity:

•
File and folder access
•
File and folder creation, deletion and renames
•
File and folder permission changes
•
Content changes, such as file reads and writes

Change Auditor for NetApp functionality is based on the NetApp Data ONTAP file screening policy (FPolicy). This policy allows third-party file screening software to interact with the NetApp filer.

•
 

System overview

The following diagram illustrates how NetApp integrates with Change Auditor to provide this auditing capability.

1
Using the Change Auditor client, users create a NetApp auditing template to specify the NetApp filer location and select the agent to receive the NetApp events.
2
The specified agent registers with the FPolicy screening policy to capture the NetApp events based on the auditing scope defined in the NetApp auditing template.
3
The NetApp filer forwards detailed information about the changes and activities back to the agent.
4
The agent processes the NetApp events and forwards them on to the coordinator. The coordinator is responsible for fulfilling client and agent requests.
5
The coordinator then forwards the events and related details to the Change Auditor database.

Deployment requirements

For a successful deployment, ensure that your environment meets the minimum system requirements. For information on system requirements, see the Change Auditor Release Notes. For details on installing Change Auditor, see the Change Auditor Installation Guide.

* 
NOTE: This guide assumes NetApp ONTAP is properly installed and configured. For detailed installation steps, see the appropriate guides from NetApp.
