OneFS Event Reference Guide

OneFS Web Administration GuideThe OneFS Web Administration Guide describes how to activate licenses, configure network interfaces, manage the file system, provision block storage, run system jobs, protect data, back up the cluster, set up storage pools, establish quotas, secure access, migrate data, integrate with other applications, and monitor PowerScale clusters.
- About this guideThis guide describes how the PowerScale OneFS web administration interface provides access to cluster configuration, management, and monitoring functionality.
- Scale-out NAS overviewThe scale-out NAS storage platform combines modular hardware with unified software to harness unstructured data. Powered by the OneFS operating system, a cluster delivers a scalable pool of storage with a global namespace.
- Where to go for support This topic contains resources for getting answers to questions about PowerScale products.
- PowerScale scale-out NASPowerScale OneFS combines the three layers of storage architecture—file system, volume manager, and data protection—into a scale-out NAS cluster.
- General cluster administration
- Access zones
- Authentication
- Administrative roles and privileges
- Identity management
- Home directoriesWhen you create a local user, OneFS automatically creates a home directory for the user.
- Data access controlOneFS supports two types of permissions data on files and directories that control who has access: Windows-style access control lists (ACLs) and POSIX mode bits (UNIX permissions).
- File sharingYou can access files and directories using SMB for Windows file sharing, NFS for Unix file sharing, secure shell (SSH), FTP, and HTTP.
- File filteringFile filtering enables you to allow or deny file writes based on file type.
- Auditing
  - Auditing overview
  - SyslogSyslog is a protocol that is used to convey certain event notification messages. You can configure a PowerScale cluster to log audit events and forward them to syslog by using the syslog forwarder.
  - Protocol audit eventsBy default, audited access zones track only certain events on the PowerScale cluster, including successful and failed attempts to access files and directories.
  - Supported audit toolsYou can configure OneFS to send protocol auditing logs to servers that support the Common Event Enabler (CEE).
  - Delivering protocol audit events to multiple CEE serversOneFS supports concurrent delivery of protocol audit events to multiple CEE servers running the CEE service.
  - Supported event typesYou can view or modify the event types that are audited in an access zone.
  - Sample audit logYou can view both configuration audit and protocol audit logs by running the isi_audit_viewer command on any node in the PowerScale cluster.
  - Audit log purgingYou can delete the audit logs.
  - Managing audit settingsYou can enable and disable system configuration and protocol access audit settings, in addition to configuring integration with the Common Event Enabler.
  - Integrating with the Common Event EnablerOneFS integration with the Common Event Enabler (CEE) enables third-party auditing applications to collect and analyze protocol auditing logs.
  - Tracking the delivery of protocol audit events The processes of capturing protocol audit events and their delivery to the CEE server do not happen simultaneously. Therefore, even when no CEE servers are available, protocol audit events are still captured and stored for delivery to the CEE server at a later time.
