Change Auditor for EMC 7.3 - Event Reference Guide

Introduction

Change Auditor for EMC 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. The auditing scope can be set on an individual file or folder or an entire file system recursive or non-recursive. Change Auditor for EMC also allows you to include or exclude certain files or folders from the audit scope in order to ensure a faster and more efficient audit process.

In addition to real-time event auditing, you can also enable event logging to capture EMC events locally in a Windows event log. This event log can then be collected using InTrust to satisfy long-term storage requirements.

* 
NOTE: EMC auditing and event logging are ONLY available if you have licensed Change Auditor for EMC and defined an EMC Auditing template for each EMC file server (CIFS) to be audited. Contact your Sales Representative for more information on obtaining Change Auditor for EMC.

This document lists the events that can be captured by Change Auditor for EMC. Separate event reference guides are provided that list the core Change Auditor events (when any Change Auditor license is applied) and the events captured when the different auditing modules are licensed.

Change Auditor for EMC Events

Change Auditor for EMC queries EMC Celerra/VNX/Isilon file servers for modifications made to files and folders. This chapter lists the audited events captured by Change Auditor when Change Auditor for EMC is licensed and an EMC Auditing template is created for each EMC file server (CIFS) to be audited. These events are listed in alphabetical order by facility:

•
Change Auditor Internal Auditing
•
EMC
 
* 
IMPORTANT: When expecting large numbers of events, it may be necessary to increase the Max Events per Connection setting in the client (Agent Configuration on the Administration Tasks tab) to avoid an ever-increasing backlog of events waiting to be sent from the agent to the coordinator database.
* 
NOTE: To view a complete list of all the Change Auditor for EMC events, open the Audit Events page on the Administration Tasks tab in the client. This page contains a list of all the events available for auditing by Change Auditor for EMC. It also displays the facility to which the event belongs, the severity assigned to each event, if the event is enabled or disabled, and the type of Change Auditor for EMC license that is required to capture each event.
