FEATURES/BENEFITS
Centralized Management
Centrally manage auditing on every file server from one console, with no reboots or interruption. This makes setup faster, provides single-point monitoring of the agent health, and reduces the effort required to establish auditing policies across multiple file servers.
Real-Time Monitoring
Unlike snapshot-based solutions, File System Auditor is implemented as a file system driver, ensuring it captures every event in the file system. Snapshot-based solutions only capture the sum of changes between snapshots, yielding unreliable reporting data and a lack of change detail.
Intelligent Auditing [View]
Native file system auditing can yield hundreds of thousands of audit entries to sort through. File System Auditor intelligently monitors file system activity and returns a single entry. Even something as complex as a move (which is comprised of a copy and a delete) shows as a single entry.
Centralized Storage
All events are centrally stored in an SQL database. This allows organizations to not only maintain a secure audit trail, but answers to questions like �what files has Bob touched today� can be answered with enterprise coverage.
Simplified Reporting
Auditing reports are quickly and easily built using 6 criteria:
Date/Time Range
User(s)
Event Type(s)
Path(s)
Process(es)
Server(s)
Permission Change Auditing
Monitor any change to permissions on files and folders. An administrator can setup an alert via email to notify if a certain file or folder gets modified or permissions are changed.
Clustered Server Support
Clustered servers are automatically detected and treated as one for ease of auditing and reporting.
Real-Time and Scheduled Notification [View]
Report definitions can be saved and configured to be emailed when events occur, providing security staff with up-to-date information on file system activity.
Detailed Reporting [View]
Reports contain all information pertinent to the event including: event type, username, date/time, process, and file path involved.
Exportable Report Data
Reports can be exported to the following formats: RTF, PDF, HTML, XLS, TIF, TXT and RDF.
