Nutanix Files Options
Filter open events from these users |
A comma-separated list of user names to exclude from access event detection. For example, if "USER1" is excluded, any access event activity generated by USER1 will be ignored, e.g., file is opened and closed. |
Access Event Suppression Time |
Represents the number of seconds that an open event will be delayed before being processed. Used to help reduce the amount of chatter generated by Windows 7 clients when mousing over files in Windows Explorer. The default value is -1, which will use a globally set value. A value of 0 will allow for dynamic changes to the amount of time that an open event will be delayed based on the load of the system. |
