Detection Method for Real-time Monitoring

Choose the desired detection method for the Source folder. You may choose from the following options:

Windows

Select this option to specify a local path resides on the server where PeerSync is installed. Close the Source Folder Configuration dialog once you have selected your desired source folder detection mode and enter the path to the source folder in the Folder Selection screen (i.e. D:\Path\Folder).

Note: PeerSync must reside on the source system in order to enable Normal real-time detection.

NetApp ONTAP | Clustered Data ONTAP

Select this option to specify the path to a NetApp cDOT SVM for either real-time or scanning scenarios. Close the Source Folder Configuration dialog once you have selected your desired source folder detection mode and enter the path to the source folder in the Folder Selection screen (i.e. \\SVM1\Share\Folder).

Note: This option can only be activated if the license supports NetApp detection. Please visit https://www.peersoftware.com or contact Sales for additional information.

NetApp Data ONTAP 7-Mode

Select this option to specify the path to a NetApp 7-Mode filer or vfiler for either real-time or scanning scenarios. Close the Source Folder Configuration dialog once you have selected your desired source folder detection mode and enter the path to the source folder in the Folder Selection screen (i.e. \\NetAppFiler\Share\Folder).

Note: This option can only be activated if the license supports NetApp detection. Please visit https://www.peersoftware.com or contact Sales for additional information.

Dell EMC Isilon

Select this option to specify the path to a Dell EMC Isilon cluster for either real-time or scanning scenarios. Close the Source Folder Configuration dialog once you have selected your desired source folder detection mode and enter the path to the source folder in the Folder Selection screen (i.e. \\ISILON1\Share\Folder).

Note: This option can only be activated if the license supports Dell EMC Isilon detection. Please visit https://www.peersoftware.com or contact Sales for additional information.

Dell EMC Unity

Select this option to specify the path to a Dell EMC Unity storage device for either real-time or scanning scenarios. Close the Source Folder Configuration dialog once you have selected your desired source folder detection mode and enter the path to the source folder in the Folder Selection screen (i.e. \\UNITY1\Share\Folder).

Note: This option can only be activated if the license supports Dell EMC Unity detection. Please visit https://www.peersoftware.com or contact Sales for additional information.

Dell EMC Celerra | VNX | VNX2

Select this option to specify the path to a Dell EMC Celerra/VNX/VNX2 data mover for either real-time or scanning scenarios. Close the Source Folder Configuration dialog once you have selected your desired source folder detection mode and enter the path to the source folder in the Folder Selection screen (i.e. \\CEEVNX1\Share\Folder).

Note: This option can only be activated if the license supports Dell EMC Celerra/VNX/VNX2 detection. Please visit https://www.peersoftware.com or contact Sales for additional information.

Nutanix Files

Select this option to specify the path to a Nutanix Files cluster for either real-time or scanning scenarios. Close the Source Folder Configuration dialog once you have selected your desired source folder detection mode and enter the path to the source folder in the Folder Selection screen (i.e. \\NTNXFiles1\Share\Folder).

Note: This option can only be activated if the license supports Nutanix Files detection. Please visit https://www.peersoftware.com or contact Sales for additional information.

NetApp FPolicy Screening Options

Enable CIFS Screening

CIFS Screening is enabled by default when clicking the "Set CIFS Defaults" button in the CIFS/NFS tab.

Enable NFSv3 Screening

NFSv3 is the only NetApp FPolicy Screening option supported when working with NFS. This must be set when utilizing NFS detection and is automatically selected when the "Set NFS Defaults" button is clicked in the CIFS/NFS tab.

Enable NFSv4 Screening

NFSv4 screening is presently not supported.

Event Filtering Options

Exclude Users

Provide a list of semi-colon (;) delimited users to exclude when using non-Default detection mode in real-time. Real-time events from the users in this field will be excluded. Enter the desired user names in a semi colon delimited format (i.e. user1;user2;user3).

Exclude Extensions

Provide a list of semi-colon (;) delimited file extensions to exclude when using non-Default detection mode during scans or in real-time. To exclude extensions via the command line use /Q70:s, where s represents the comma (,) delimited list of extensions to exclude (i.e. /Q70:tmp;dwl;dwl2). Use %AUTO% for PeerSync to build a list of file extensions dynamically. To use the %AUTO% option via the command line use /Q70. This is the equivalent of using the /QR argument for FPolicy only.

Exclude IP Address (also shown as PeerSync Server)

Provide a list of semi-colon (;) delimited IP addresses to exclude when using a non-Default detection mode during scans or in real-time.

Note: For bi-directional configurations that do not filter events by other means you should add all IP addresses for the PeerSync systems involved to this list that you do not want to detect events from to prevent oscillation.

Allow for remote real-time configuration

This option indicates whether or not the selected source folder detection method supports real-time detection for remote paths. Presently, this feature is only supported for NetApp, Dell EMC, and Nutanix platforms.
