Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • Native FPolicy

Answer

  • Since Fpolicy logging architecture isn't designed to send the messages to a non fpolicy external source, other than an actual FPOLICY product, like Varonis, or native FPOLICY on the vserver, it is not possible to forward native FPolicy events to a Syslog or SIEM server,.
  • Native FPolicy configurations use the ONTAP native FPolicy engine to monitor and block file operations based on the file's extension.
  • There is no logging available on ONTAP when file operation is blocked based on file extension.
