Contributors

POST /storage/snaplock/audit-logs

Introduced In: 9.7

Creates a SnapLock log configuration for an SVM. A SnapLock log configuration consists of a volume to store the log, the maximum size of the log file, and the default period of time for which the log file should be retained. The input parameter retention_period expects the duration in ISO 8601 format.

Required properties

  • svm.uuid or svm.name - Name or UUID of the SVM.

  • log_volume.volume.name or log_volume.volume.uuid - Name or UUID of audit log volume.

  • log_volume.max_log_size - Max log file size.

  • log_volume.volume.retention_period - Retention period of log file.

Default property values

If not specified in POST, the following default property values are assigned:

  • log_volume.retention_period - P6M

  • log_volume.max_log_size - 10MB

  • snaplock log create

Parameters

Name Type In Required Description

return_timeout

integer

query

False

The number of seconds to allow the call to execute before returning. When doing a POST, PATCH, or DELETE operation on a single record, the default is 0 seconds. This means that if an asynchronous operation is started, the server immediately returns HTTP code 202 (Accepted) along with a link to the job. If a non-zero value is specified for POST, PATCH, or DELETE operations, ONTAP waits that length of time to see if the job completes so it can return something other than 202.

  • Default value: 1

  • Max value: 120

  • Min value: 0

return_records

boolean

query

False

The default is false. If set to true, the records are returned.

  • Default value:

The name of the volume.

uuid

string

Unique identifier for the volume. This corresponds to the instance-uuid that is exposed in the CLI and ONTAPI. It does not change due to a volume move.

retention_period

string

Specifies the default log record retention period. The retention period value represents a duration and must be specified in the ISO-8601 duration format. The retention period can be in years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds. A period specified for years, months and days is represented in the ISO-8601 format as "PY", "PM", "PD" respectively. For example "P10Y" represents a duration of 10 years. A duration in hours, minutes and seconds is represented by "PTH", "PTM", and "PTS" respectively. The period string must contain only a single time element i.e. either years, months, days, hours, minutes or seconds. A duration which combines different periods is not supported, example "P1Y10M" is not supported. Apart from the duration specified in the ISO-8601 format, the retention period field also accepts the string "infinite".
