Overview

FPolicy events configurations allow you to specify which file access is monitored. As part of an FPolicy event, you can configure the SVM for which the events are generated, the name of the event configuration, the protocol (cifs, nfsv3/nfsv4) for which the events are generated, the file operations which are monitored, and filters that can be used to filter the unwanted notification generation for a specified protocol and file operation.

Each protocol has a set of supported file operations and filters. An SVM can have multiple events. A single FPolicy policy can have multiple FPolicy events.

Examples

Creating an FPolicy event for a CIFS protocol with all the supported file operations and filters

# The API:
POST /protocols/fpolicy/{svm.uuid}/events

# The call:
curl -X POST "https://<mgmt-ip>/api/protocols/fpolicy/4f643fb4-fd21-11e8-ae49-0050568e2c1e/eventsreturn_records=true" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{ \"file_operations\": { \"close\": true, \"create\": true, \"create_dir\": true, \"delete\": true, \"delete_dir\": true, \"getattr\": true, \"open\": true, \"read\": true, \"rename\": true, \"rename_dir\": true, \"setattr\": true, \"write\": true }, \"filters\": { \"close_with_modification\": true, \"close_with_read\": true, \"close_without_modification\": true, \"first_read\": true, \"first_write\": true, \"monitor_ads\": true, \"offline_bit\": true, \"open_with_delete_intent\": true, \"open_with_write_intent\": true, \"write_with_size_change\": true }, \"name\": \"event_cifs\", \"protocol\": \"cifs\", \"volume_monitoring\": true}"
