Applies to

  • Data Infrastructure Insights (DII)
  • Storage Workload Security (SWS)
  • ONTAP 9

Issue

  • SWS detects a potential attack, but no users are blocked
  • The potential attack alert shows messages:

Storage Workload Security was unable to identify the user who initiated this activity.
Storage Workload Security did not record this file activity and could not identify who initiated the attack.
It could be caused by network disconnection, excluded shares or export policies, or NFS 4.1 protocol access (unsupported by FPolicy).

  • The Suspected Files Sample in the potential attack alert shows the path’s non‑English parts in garbled text.
