How much additional load for enabling CIFS Auditing ?

[JFM]

Hi, 

Our client wants to see if their systems could take the additional load of enabling CIFS file auditing. Their systems are very busy, but latency is still within the normal and expected range (AFF700 systems). How do we know and monitor the process responsible for CIFS auditing in OnTap?

I don't think there is a way to specifically monitor the contribution of auditing with respect to latency. From my experience it has been pretty negligible. What I would suggest is monitoring latency in real time while you enable it, it is quick and easy to disable if it is causing a problem.
