Extended Network Connectivity (ENC) › Auditing Events

Auditing Events

The ENC Gateway internally audits events on the inter-node connections and generates audit information in the operating system event log. It can also optionally be sent to the Event Management system or a plain file. Audit events are grouped into categories covering errors, connections, security, and so on. Events can be enabled or disabled individually or by categories.

By default, all audit categories are disabled except for the error category, although all messages are enabled within their categories. This is to avoid the event log from being swamped with ENC events. The administrator should enable events when required when troubleshooting or monitoring the operation of the system.

Audit events can be enabled by enabling the corresponding category or they can all be enabled by setting a single parameter.

Note also that by default, all audit configuration data is locally managed but can be easily switched to centrally managed using the policy editor in the DSM Explorer.

For a complete list of event categories, see the "ENC Gateway and Client Auditing Policy Group" topic in the Configuration Policy section of the DSM Explorer Help.
