2. Prerequisites

Pre-requisite to audit Nasuni are as follows:

  • Login to Nasuni NMC and Enter the Credentials

  • Click on the Filer Navbar tab and then click on Syslog Export Setting on the left navigation bar

  • Select the Particular filer and then click the Edit Filer Button

  • After clicking on the Edit Filer Button, the Filer Syslog Export Settings Wizard Will Open. Enter the Server IP and Port where you need to send the Syslog Forwarding and then click on Save Setting.

  • Do not use port 0 or port 514. Port 514 is already reserved for another component.

  • Make sure your NMC and Filer have an internet connection for creating a volume or changing the port for syslog forwarding.

NOTE: Auditing for all events, except copy and Denied Events, is captured in our environment.

2.1 Service Rights

  • Nasuni users can access the Nasuni APIs whether as a native user or domain user which is created in Nasuni. However, a native user cannot access the shared folder.

  • Requirement to get Permission Changes: if a volume is created, ensure that the volume is created in NTFS Exclusive Mode because if you need to check the auditing for permission and owner changes, it should only be done in NTFS Exclusive Mode.

2.2 Local System Rights

  • To run Lepide after installation, you can select any of the following:

    • A local system administrator (for permission and property changes in auditing)

  • The user should have the following permissions on the local computer where the software is installed:

    • Read/Write permissions in the registry
