Change Auditor for NetApp 7.2 - User Guide

Introduction

You must define a separate NetApp auditing template for each NetApp filer to be audited by Change Auditor. The NetApp Auditing page on the Administration Tasks tab displays details about each NetApp Auditing template created and allows you to add new auditing templates.

 

NetApp Auditing page

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

The NetApp Auditing page contains an expandable view of all the NetApp Auditing templates that have been previously defined. To add a new template to this list, use the Add tool bar button. Once added, the following information is provided for each template:

Click the expansion box to the left of the Filer name to expand this view and display the following details:

Displays the name of the user account that has access to the NetApp filer. This information is only displayed when Set Credentials is used on the second page of the wizard to specify the NetApp filer credentials to be used by a Change Auditor agent.

NetApp Auditing templates

To enable NetApp filer auditing, create a NetApp Auditing template for each NetApp filer to audit. Each auditing template defines the NetApp filer to be audited, the auditing scope, and the agents that are to receive the NetApp events.

1
Open the NetApp Auditing wizard (Click Add or Edit on NetApp Auditing page).
NetApp Filer - Select the NetApp filer from the drop-down or enter the NetBIOS name or IP address of the NetApp filer to be audited.
File and folder auditing is supported in cluster mode only. Select Detect filer mode...to determine which mode you have deployed.
Audit Path - Select File and enter a file name and path (<ShareName>\<Path>\<FileName>) to be audited or click the browse button to locate and select a file. Click Add to move the specified audit path to the selection list (middle of the page).
Events tab - Select the file events to be audited for the file selected in the selection list.
NOTE: Selecting the File Events check box at the top of the events list on the Events tab will select all of the events listed. Similarly, clearing this check box will clear all of the selected events.
Click Next to proceed to the next page.

Open the NetApp Auditing wizard. (Click Add or Edit on the NetApp Auditing page.)
NetApp Filer - Select the NetApp CIFS server from the drop-down menu. If the NetApp CIFS server not appear in the list, enter the server’s NetBIOS name.
File and folder auditing is supported in cluster mode only. Select Detect filer mode to determine which mode you have deployed.
Audit Path - Select Folder and enter a folder name and path (<ShareName>\<FolderName>) to be audited or click the browse button to locate and select a folder.

For example, if you want to audit file changes when users access a share called ‘folder1’, which resides under a QTree share named ‘c$’, you need to specify the following two paths:

Click Add to add the specified folder to the selection list.
3
By default, the scope of coverage for the selected folder will be This object and all child objects. However, you can change the scope, by selecting a different option from the drop-down box in the scope cell of the selection list:
This object only - select this option to audit only the selected folder, not its files or subfolders.
This object and child objects only - select this option to audit the selected folder and its direct files and subfolders. This is not recursive.
This object and all child objects - select this option to audit this folder and all of its files and subfolders.
NOTE: Selecting the File Events or Folder Events check box at the top of the events list on the Events tab will select all of the events listed. Similarly, clearing these check boxes will clear all of the selected events.
Once you have specified the subfolders/files for inclusion, click Add to add it to the Inclusion list at the bottom of the page.
For example, entering *.log will exclude all files in the audit folder with the .log file extension. Whereas, entering **.log will exclude all files with the .log file extension found in the audit folder or in any subfolders.
Once you have specified a subfolder or file for exclusion, use the appropriate Add command to add it to the Exclusion list at the bottom of the page:
