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

Introduced In: 9.6

Updates a specific FPolicy event configuration for an SVM. A cluster-level FPolicy event configuration cannot be modified for a data SVM through REST. When the file operations and filters fields are modified, the previous values are retained and new values are added to the list of previous values. To remove a particular file operation or filter, set its value to false in the request.
