duration

string

The duration over which this sample is calculated. The time durations are represented in the ISO-8601 standard format. Samples can be calculated over the following durations:

iops

iops

The rate of I/O operations observed at the storage object.

latency

latency

The round trip latency in microseconds observed at the storage object.

status

string

Any errors associated with the sample. For example, if the aggregation of data over multiple nodes fails then any of the partial errors might be returned, "ok" on success, or "error" on any internal uncategorized failure. Whenever a sample collection is missed but done at a later time, it is back filled to the previous 15 second timestamp and tagged with "backfilled_data". "Inconsistent_ delta_time" is encountered when the time between two collections is not the same for all nodes. Therefore, the aggregated value might be over or under inflated. "Negative_delta" is returned when an expected monotonically increasing value has decreased in value. "Inconsistent_old_data" is returned when one or more nodes do not have the latest data.

throughput

throughput

The rate of throughput bytes per second observed at the storage object.

timestamp

string

The timestamp of the performance data.

cifs_netbios

Name Type Description

aliases

array[string]

enabled

boolean

Specifies whether NetBios name service (NBNS) is enabled for the CIFS. If this service is enabled, the CIFS server will start sending the broadcast for name registration.

wins_servers

array[string]

cifs_service_security

Name Type Description

encrypt_dc_connection

boolean

Specifies whether encryption is required for domain controller connections.

kdc_encryption

boolean

Specifies whether AES-128 and AES-256 encryption is enabled for all Kerberos-based communication with the Active Directory KDC. To take advantage of the strongest security with Kerberos-based communication, AES-256 and AES-128 encryption can be enabled on the CIFS server. Kerberos-related communication for CIFS is used during CIFS server creation on the SVM, as well as during the SMB session setup phase. The CIFS server supports the following encryption types for Kerberos communication:

  • RC4-HMAC

  • DES

  • AES When the CIFS server is created, the domain controller creates a computer machine account in Active Directory. After a newly created machine account authenticates, the KDC and the CIFS server negotiates encryption types. At this time, the KDC becomes aware of the encryption capabilities of the particular machine account and uses those capabilities in subsequent communication with the CIFS server. In addition to negotiating encryption types during CIFS server creation, the encryption types are renegotiated when a machine account password is reset.

lm_compatibility_level

string

It is CIFS server minimum security level, also known as the LMCompatibilityLevel. The minimum security level is the minimum level of the security tokens that the CIFS server accepts from SMB clients. The available values are:

  • lm_ntlm_ntlmv2_krb Accepts LM, NTLM, NTLMv2 and Kerberos

  • ntlm_ntlmv2_krb Accepts NTLM, NTLMv2 and Kerberos

  • ntlmv2_krb Accepts NTLMv2 and Kerberos

  • krb Accepts Kerberos only

restrict_anonymous

string

Specifies what level of access an anonymous user is granted. An anonymous user (also known as a "null user") can list or enumerate certain types of system information from Windows hosts on the network, including user names and details, account policies, and share names. Access for the anonymous user can be controlled by specifying one of three access restriction settings. The available values are:

  • no_restriction - No access restriction for an anonymous user.

  • no_enumeration - Enumeration is restricted for an anonymous user.

  • no_access - All access is restricted for an anonymous user.

smb_encryption

boolean

Specifies whether encryption is required for incoming CIFS traffic.

smb_signing

boolean

Specifies whether signing is required for incoming CIFS traffic. SMB signing helps to ensure that network traffic between the CIFS server and the client is not compromised.

iops_raw
