Is there any impact on performance after enabling Security Audit Log?
Applies to
- ONTAP
- Security Audit Logs
Answer
- Enabling auditing on CIFS has marginal impact on latency and CPU utilization
- NetApp completed extensive testing to characterize the performance impact of auditing and recommends following our best practices to minimize the performance impact
- Enabling auditing on multiple SVMs within a single cluster will affect performance, consider the number of audit-enabled SVMs before deploying the auditing feature
