Introduction

Quest Change Auditor for EMC tracks, audits, reports, and alerts on file and folder changes in real time, translating events into simple text and eliminating the time and complexity of 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 choose to include or exclude files or folders from the audit scope to ensure a fast and efficient audit process.

Quest Change Auditor for EMC captures events and provides detailed information relating to the following activities:

•
File and folder access
•
File and folder creation, deletion, and renames
•
File and folder permission changes
•
Content changes, such as file opens and writes
* 
NOTE: Change Auditor only captures EMC events initiated through a Common Internet File System (CIFS). EMC events initiated through FTP, NFS, or other protocols are not captured.

System overview

System overview

The following diagram illustrates how EMC Celerra/VNX integrates with Change Auditor to provide this auditing capability.

1
Using the client, users create an EMC Auditing template to configure the EMC file server (CIFS) location and select the agent to receive the EMC events.
The coordinator is responsible for fulfilling client and agent requests.
2
(Optional) The client updates the EMC Control Station to enable auditing using an updated cepp.conf file (optional step in the EMC Auditing wizard).
3
The agent registers with the EMC CEE/VEE Framework service to get data related to user operations.
4
The EMC Data Mover forwards audit events to the EMC CEE/VEE Framework installed on the Change Auditor agent server.
5
The agent processes EMC events and forwards them to the coordinator.
6
The coordinator forwards the events and related details to the database.
