Applies to

  • Data Infrastructure Insights (DII, formerly Cloud Insights)
  • Storage Workload Security (SWS)
  • ONTAP 9
  • Network failure between storage virtual machine (SVM) and Workload Security Agent host occurs

Answer

If there is a continuous network failure that meets the following conditions, audit data is lost instead of being sent to DII server:
  • When SVM tries to send audit data, if there is no response from SWS data collector for 60 seconds, a timeout occurs.
  • If there is no response within 5 retries, FPolicy connection between SVM and data collector is disconnected.
  • In scenarios where a data collector is connected to more than one node for SVM audit data, the data collector will not trigger a disconnected state unless all nodes become disconnected. This can lead to missed audit data for any clients connected to the disconnected node. This will be improved in a future deployment.

Note: User Directory Collector is refreshed every 12 hours automatically
