System overview

The following details how Dell Fluid File System integrates with Change Auditor to provide auditing capability.

1
Using the Change Auditor client, users create a FluidFS auditing template to specify the FluidFS cluster, auditing settings, and the agents that are to receive the events. The client passes these settings to the coordinator for configuration.
2
The coordinator configures the FluidFS cluster through the Change Auditor Configuration Service for Dell FluidFS and Dell Enterprise Manager.
3
The FluidFS cluster forwards detailed information about the changes and activities back to the Change Auditor agent.
4
The agent captures events based on the auditing scope defined in the FluidFS auditing template and forwards them on to the coordinator.
5
The coordinator then forwards the events and related details to the Change Auditor database.
