As part of creating an FPolicy policy configuration, you need to create an FPolicy event. You associate the event with the FPolicy policy when it is created. An event defines which protocol to monitor and which file access events to monitor and filter.

Before you begin

You should complete the FPolicy event worksheet.

Create the FPolicy event

  1. Create the FPolicy event by using the vserver fpolicy policy event create command.

    vserver fpolicy policy event create -vserver vs1.example.com -event-name event1 -protocol cifs -file-operations open,close,read,write

  2. Verify the FPolicy event configuration by using the vserver fpolicy policy event show command.

    vserver fpolicy policy event show -vserver vs1.example.com

                      Event               File                    Is Volume
Vserver           Name      Protocols Operations    Filters   Operation
---------------   --------- --------- ------------- --------- ------------
vs1.example.com   event1    cifs      open, close,  -         false
                                      read, write

Create the FPolicy access denied events

Beginning with ONTAP 9.13.1, users can receive notifications for failed file operations due to lack of permissions. These notifications are valuable for security, ransomware protection, and governance.

  1. Create the FPolicy event by using the vserver fpolicy policy event create command.

    vserver fpolicy policy event create -vserver vs1.example.com -event-name event1 -protocol cifs -monitor-fileop-failure true -file-operations open
