Performance Considerations

Performance Considerations

This section contains strategies to help minimize performance issues.

* 
NOTE: Quest recommends for all environments, a phased approach to setting up file/folder auditing for NetApp devices. A phased approach will allow file/folder auditing to be deployed in stages so that performance is not impacted.

Change Auditor agent performance

Previous Next

Change Auditor agent performance

Performance is directly linked to the CPU speed and network latency of the server hosting the agent collecting the NetApp events.

•
Hardware considerations
•
Load balancing

Hardware considerations

To improve agent performance, you can:

•
Upgrade the link between the NetApp filer and the agent to decrease network latency.
•
Add extra CPUs to the current agent or select a more powerful agent host with more CPUs or CPU cores available.

See the Release Notes for required rights and permission.

Load balancing

You may improve performance by assigning a NetApp auditing template to more than one agent. When multiple agents are assigned to the same template, events are load-balanced between these agents. However, the downside is that the ‘where’ field for NetApp events may contain any one of the agents being monitored by this single auditing template. In addition, if NetApp event logging is enabled in Change Auditor, events will be written on multiple agent servers.

.
* 
NOTE: Only increase the number of agents if a single agent cannot handle the volume of events generated.
* 
NOTE: For NetApp filers generating a large amount of events, it is recommended that you do NOT assign the same agents to multiple filers (NetApp Auditing templates).
* 
NOTE: An ONTAP 7.2 filer can be audited by one or more agents for load balancing of events, but the same agents cannot audit more than one ONTAP 7.2 filer.

Configuring audit scope

Previous Next

Configuring audit scope

Audit only volumes, extensions and operations that are vital for your environment. Use the NetApp auditing template to specify the auditing scope for a NetApp filer. For example, using the NetApp Auditing template you can:

•
Decrease the number of volumes being audited
▪
Set the Audit Path to File, Folder or Volume and enter the file, folder or volume to be audited.
▫
To specify a file, enter: <ShareName>\<Path>\<FileName>
▫
To specify a folder, enter: <ShareName>\<FolderName>
▫
To specify a volume, enter: <VolumeName>
* 
NOTE: Specifying a volume name provides the best performance.
•
Decrease the number of file extensions being audited
▪
Use the Inclusions tab to specify individual subfolders or files to be included for auditing.
* 
NOTE: For better performance, on the Inclusions tab specify only three characters for included extensions (e.g., *.txt, *.x??).
▪
Use the Exclusions tab to exclude individual subfolders or files from auditing.
* 
NOTE: On both the Inclusions and Exclusions tabs, you can specify a group of files or subfolders using wildcard characters. That is, use an asterisk (*) to substitute zero or more characters or use a question mark (?) to substitute a single character.

See File and Folder Inclusion and Exclusion Examples for more information and examples.

•
Decrease the number of operations being audited
▪
Use the Events tab to select only vital file and/or folder events.

 

NetApp Filer Events

NetApp Filer Events

The following events can be selected for auditing from the Events tab on the NetApp Auditing wizard. The events listed on the Events tab is based on the file/folder specified in the Audit Path and the coverage specified in the Scope cell.

File Events
•
NetApp File access rights changed (no from-value)
•
NetApp File contents written
•
NetApp File created
•
NetApp File deleted
•
NetApp File moved
•
NetApp File opened (Only available when Audit Path is File)
•
NetApp File ownership changed (no from-value)
•
NetApp File renamed
Folder Events
•
NetApp Folder access rights changed (no from-value)
•
NetApp Folder created
•
NetApp Folder deleted
•
NetApp Folder moved
•
NetApp Folder ownership changed (no from-value)
•
NetApp Folder renamed
