    7. Provide these details:
      • Username: A NetApp account with administrative permissions, such as login-http-admin, api-system-cli, api-options-get, or cli-cifs, will set the NetApp audit options and also help in the manual generation of audit log (EVT) files.

      • Physical Filer Name: The name of the target storage systems running Data ONTAP or the storage system on which vFiler units are created.

      • Is vFiler: If the selected CIFS Server is on a VFiler, check the Is vFiler box.
      • vFiler Name: Provide the name of the vFiler unit, a storage partition. The partition can be created using the NetApp MultiStore feature.\

      • Port number and protocol: Provide the number of the port that will be used for HTTP or HTTPS communication between the vFiler and the ADAudit Plus server. By default, this will be 80 for HTTP connections and 443 for HTTPS connections. Either HTTP or SSL must be enabled for ADAudit Plus to connect to the NetApp Filer, and to set the audit options automatically.

      • Note: If you want ADAudit Plus to auto-configure the required audit policies and object-level auditing (SACL) in the target shares, ensure that the NetApp Audit Options Enabled Automatically and Necessary object level auditing will be set on Selected Shares checkboxes are selected.

        Otherwise, deselect the checkboxes and proceed with the next step. You will need to manually configure the audit policies and SACLs on the target shares to ensure that the system generates audit events when files are accessed.

    8. Click OK.

    Your target NetApp server will be added to the ADAudit Plus console.

    Then, to view or update the EVT file share path, follow these steps:

    1. On the ADAudit Plus web console, navigate to the File Audit tab > Configured Server(s) > NetApp Server.
    2. From the Domain drop-down, select the domain with the target server. All the servers configured in that domain will be displayed in the table.
    3. Under Actions, click the icon for NetApp Audit Options Configuration.
