How can I monitor the creation of files with special extensions?

I would like to monitor (CIFS) if a file ".LOCKY" will be created. So far I've only created a fpolicy to prohibit the creation of ".LOCKY" files. But how could I monitor if one of thoses files will be created?

Thanks

Hi,

The file create operation should be added to the monitored operations list for the FPolicy server to receive a notification from the storage system. The file create operation can be monitored using the CLI or ONTAPI. It can also be set by the FPolicy server using a bitmask.

For more details, refer https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMP1401220/html/GUID-6264C374-102C-4C47-8BEF-8E3A52119D9D.html

Thanks
