NetAPP cDOT Advanced Options

The options are divided into two groups:

NetApp Options for this Job

Advanced Settings

NetApp Storage Information-cDOT Advanced Options

NetApp Options for this Job

The following configuration options are available for NetApp cDOT devices:

Filter open/close 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.

Filter all events from these users

A comma-separated list of user names to exclude from all event detection.  For example, if "USER"1 is excluded, any activity generated by USER1 will be ignored, e.g., file is open and modified.

Filter events from these IP Addresses

A comma-separated list of IP addresses to exclude from all event detection.  For example, if "192.168.0.100" is excluded, any activity generated by 192.168.0.100 will be ignored, e.g., file is open and modified.

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 clients when mousing over files in Windows Explorer.  The default value is -1, which will be adjusted based on the selected NAS platform.  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.

Advanced Settings

SVM Username

The account name of the VSAdmin or similar account on the SVM that has the appropriate access to ONTAPI.

SVM Password

The password of the VSAdmin or similar account on the SVM that has the appropriate access to ONTAPI.  This value will be encrypted.

SVM Management IP (optional)

If the primary data LIF for the SVM (whose IP address is registered in DNS) does not support management calls, enter the management IP address of SVM.

Agent IP for SVM Conn.

The IP address over which this Peer Agent will connect to the configured SVM.  This MUST be an IP address.

Filtered Extensions

A comma separated list of file extensions to exclude (without a leading asterisk (*).

Admin Share Override

Enter the administrative-type share that you created on the cDOT SVM.  To take advantage of performance improvements when using this option, the share must be created at the root of the SVM's namespace (/).  Ideally it should be named to something similar to PMCShare$ to prevent users from being able to see it.
