PATCH /protocols/fpolicy/{svm.uuid}/policies/{name}

Introduced In: 9.6

Updates a particular FPolicy policy configuration for a specified SVM. PATCH can be used to enable or disable the policy. When enabling a policy, you must specify the policy priority. The policy priority of the policy is not required when disabling the policy. If the policy is enabled, the FPolicy policy engine cannot be modified.

Parameters

Name Type In Required Description

name

string

path

True

svm.uuid

string

path

True

UUID of the SVM to which this object belongs.

Request Body

Name Type Description

allow_privileged_access

boolean

Specifies whether privileged access is required for FPolicy servers. Privileged access is used when the FPolicy server requires direct access to the cluster nodes. When this parameter is set to true, FPolicy servers can access files on the cluster using a separate data channel with privileged access.

enabled

boolean

Specifies if the policy is enabled on the SVM or not. If no value is mentioned for this field but priority is set, then this policy will be enabled.

engine

fpolicy_engine_reference

FPolicy external engine

events

array[fpolicy_event_reference]

mandatory

boolean

Specifies what action to take on a file access event in a case when all primary and secondary servers are down or no response is received from the FPolicy servers within a given timeout period. When this parameter is set to true, file access events will be denied under these circumstances.

name

string

Specifies the name of the policy.

passthrough_read

boolean

Specifies whether passthrough-read should be allowed for FPolicy servers registered for the policy. Passthrough-read is a way to read data for offline files without restoring the files to primary storage. Offline files are files that have been moved to secondary storage.

priority

integer

Specifies the priority that is assigned to this policy.

privileged_user

string

Specifies the privileged user name for accessing files on the cluster using a separate data channel with privileged access. The input for this field should be in "domain\username" format.
