Auditing on selected folders

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 31 Aug 2005

Q:
Can you turn on file system auditing on a particular folder with Audit? According to the documentation that I have seen, the only auditing options are on the NCP Server object. With Auditcon you could only turn on auditing to the folders that were selected.

A:
File system auditing is an all or nothing fact in Audit 1.x. You could build a notification filter to isolate the files/folders you are interested in, but this breaks the signature chain features in the full Audit suite.
