Nutanix server configuration

DataSecurity Plus helps you monitor file and folder events on Nutanix servers in real time, providing detailed insights into user operations.

Creating a Nutanix user

To perform file auditing on Nutanix servers, you need to create a new REST API Nutanix user dedicated to DataSecurity Plus. The permissions and privileges required for auditing will be automatically applied once the user is created.

Follow the steps below to create a user in the Nutanix Files Console:

  • In the Nutanix Files Console, go to Configuration > Manage Roles.
  • Click + New User in the REST API access users section. A new line for the new user will appear at the bottom of the list.
  • In the USERNAME field, enter the username requiring REST API access.

    • Note: You cannot add "admin" as the username.

  • In the PASSWORD field, type in a password for that user.
  • In the same row, click the check mark icon to save the configuration.
    • Nutanix server configuration

Configuring a Nutanix server

  • Log in to the DataSecurity Plus web console.
  • Configure the domain in which the file server you want to configure is located.
  • Select File Audit from the application drop-down.
  • Go to Configuration > Data Source > Nutanix Server.
  • Click + Add Server.
  • On the Select Nutanix Server tab, select your preferred domain and Nutanix server, then click Next.
  • On the Select Shares tab, select the shares you want to audit and click Next.
  • On the Management Details tab, enter the management IP , username, and password of the Nutanix user you created in the previous section.
  • On the Collector Server tab, choose the Domain Name and Collector Server Name, specify the Collector Port, and click Next.

    • Note: For Nutanix server auditing with DataSecurity Plus, configuring a collector server is required. The collector server acts as an intermediary server that collects file access events from the Nutanix server and forwards them to the DataSecurity Plus server. You may configure Windows file servers as collector servers. However, the Windows client OS cannot be configured as a collector server. No separate license is required for configuring collector servers.

  • On the Review Summary tab, review the configuration and click Configure.
