Overview Isilon OneFS is the NAS solution which combines the three layers of traditional storage architectures file system, volume manager, and data protection into one unified layer. EventTracker helps you to monitor user login activities, file operation (open, close, read, write, etc) activities and changes in file permission. It will trigger an alert whenever changes occur in file permission or login failure by users. It s knowledge object will help you make log search easier and informative. Prerequisites EventTracker v8.x should be installed. EMC Isilon OneFS 7.1 and later should be installed. An exception should be added into windows firewall on EventTracker machine for syslog port 514. Integration of EMC Isilon to EventTracker manager 1. Login into EMC Isilon CLI console using SSH or directly. 2. Run the following command to back up the /etc/mcp/templates/syslog.conf file: cp /etc/mcp/templates/syslog.conf /etc/mcp/templates/syslog.conf.bku1 3. Open the /etc/mcp/templates/syslog.conf file in a text editor such as vi, edit, or nano. 4. Add a custom filter for your EventTracker manager. For example: *.warn;*.notice;kern.*;ifs.info;istat.none @<EventTracker manager> NOTE: A filter of *.* will generate a lot of traffic. 5. To enable remote logging of syslog events for configuration and protocol auditing, find these sections of the /etc/mcp/templates/syslog.conf file.!audit_config *.* /var/log/audit_config.log!audit_protocol *.* /var/log/audit_protocol.log 6. Add a line for remote syslog servers (EventTracker Manager), so that the resulting sections of the file will now look like this (it is assumed that you have enabled syslog for auditing): 3
!audit_config *.* /var/log/audit_config.log *.* @<EventTracker manager IP address>!audit_protocol *.* /var/log/audit_protocol.log *.* @<EventTracker manager IP address> 7. Save the file and exit from your editor. The master control process (MCP) will push out your changes from the template file into /etc/syslog.conf a short time later. 8. Reload the configuration by sending the hang-up signal to the syslogd process: isi_for_array 'killall -HUP syslogd' EventTracker Knowledge Pack Once logs are received into EventTracker, alerts, reports and knowledge object can be configured into EventTracker. The following Knowledge Packs are available in EventTracker Enterprise to support EMC Isilon. Alerts EMC Isilon: Login failed This alert is generated when user logon failure occurs on EMC Isilon. EMC Isilon: File permission changes This alert is generated when user makes changes in File or directory permission. EMC Isilon: File or directory deleted - This alert is generated when user deletes file or directory from the EMC Isilon zones. Flex Reports EMC Isilon-File operations This report provides information about the operations (like open, close, read, write, rename, etc) that occurs on file in EMC Isilon zone by a user. This report will show user information (like Security ID, Client IP) who did operation (Open, close, read, write, rename, etc) on File (like filepath, file type). Figure 1 4
Sample logs: Figure 2 EMC Isilon-File permission checked and changed This report provides information about the checking and changing in file permission. This report will show the user information (Security ID, Client IP) who made changes in file (file path, file type) permission. Figure 3 Sample logs: Figure 4 EMC Isilon-Logon and logoff activities This report provides information about the logon and logoff activities that occurs on EMC Isilon. This report will show information about the logon and logoff done by user on EMC Isilon. Figure 5 Sample logs: Figure 6 EMC Isilon-Logon failed This report provides information about the user logon failure by a client. This report gives user information who is trying to logon into EMC lsilion. 5
Figure 7 Sample logs: Figure 8 Knowledge Object EMC Isilon This knowledge object will help us to analyze the log related with file operation, login/logoff activities and file permission changes.
