5.1 Instrumentation Files

The NetWare and eDirectory Instrumentations for Novell Nsure Audit (auditNW and nauditDS, respectively) allow Nsure Audit to log NetWare, eDirectory, and file system events.

To enable NetWare and file system logging, auditNW must be loaded on every NetWare server on which you want to log NetWare and file system events. To avoid receiving duplicate entries for eDirectory events, enable the do not sent replicated events option. To enable this, open the Nsure Audit tab of your NCP Server object and check the “Do not send replicated events” checkbox. To log non-replicated events (such as logins), it must be installed on each individual server for which you want to log non-replicated events.

Additionally, the Platform Agent must be installed on every server on which you want to log NetWare, file system, and eDirectory events. AuditNW and nauditDS automatically load the Platform Agent (logevent) to send events to the Secure Logging Server.

On NetWare, auditNW and nauditDS are automatically loaded each time the server restarts. On Windows, Linux, and Solaris systems, you must manually load nauditDS or add nauditDS to the server startup scripts to begin logging eDirectory events. For information on starting the NetWare and eDirectory Instrumentations, see Section G.4, NetWare and eDirectory Instrumentation Startup Commands
