Answer

  • NAS audit logs cannot be integrated with the syslog framework, they must be stored in a local path on the system.
  • NAS audit events cannot generate email alerts.
  • A pull mechanism can be utilized to retrieve them using CIFS or NFS.
  • NetApp does not provide a push option to transfer NAS audit logs directly to a destination syslog server.
