Viewing detailed security status for clusters and Storage VMs

The Security page shows high-level security status for all clusters, and detailed security status for individual clusters.

As a system administrator, you can use the Security page to get visibility into the security strength of your ONTAP clusters and storage VMs at the datacenter and site levels.

Based on the defined parameters, you can collect and analyze information to detect suspicious behavior or any unauthorized system changes on the monitored clusters and storage VMs.

The detailed cluster status includes cluster compliance, SVM compliance, and volume encryption compliance.

The Cluster / Security details page provides a default view of the clusters' security compliance by checking the security parameters, such as Global FIPS, Telnet, insecure SSH settings, login banner, network time protocol, AutoSupport HTTPS Transport, and default Admins.

The Storage VMs/ Security details page provides a default view of the storage VMs' security compliance by checking the security parameters, such as storage VMs, cluster, login banner, audit log, and insecure SSH settings.

You can generate, schedule, and download security compliance reports from the Cluster and Storage VMs details pages as well.

From the Security Dashboard, click View Reports in the Cluster Compliance and Storage VMs Compliance cards.

Steps

  1. In the left navigation pane, click Dashboard.

  2. Depending on whether you want to view security status for all monitored clusters or for a single cluster, select All Clusters or select a single cluster from the drop-down menu.

  3. Click the right-arrow in the Security panel.

    The Security page displays the following information:

    • the cluster security status (number of clusters that are compliant or not compliant)

    • the SVM security status (number of SVMs that are compliant or not compliant)

    • the volume encryption status (number of volumes that are encrypted or not encrypted)

    • the cluster authentication methods being used on each cluster

  4. Refer to the NetApp Security Hardening Guide for ONTAP 9 for instructions on how to make all of your clusters, SVMs, and volumes compliant with NetApp security recommendations.
