CIFS Audit log forwarding to Splunk Server

Hello Community We want to check which client IPs access a Cifs share and map/check the whole stuff in Splunk. Is a CIFS audit log forward to a Splunk server possible? If yes how? Any Documentation available how to configure? I find in the NetApp documentation only general information about the "audit" log forwarding but not explicitly about the CIFS audit. If it is not possible via Splunk, what solution does NetApp offer here? Many Thanks in advance. Juergen

Correct. CIFS audit logs cannot be pushed to another server, only accessed through a CIFS share.

Thanks. Yes for the normal "audit" log its clear. it will use the syslog framework.

 

My Question was regarding "cifs audit" logs and forward directly into Splunk for parsing.
