ONTAP 9.7, any idea why these messages are seen in EMS?

It's related to CIFS auditing I believe. I don't see a system with AutoSupports with that host name, where it is enabled. If they were I could check logs.

 

You might check if "vserver security trace filter show" has any security traces running.

Hi Paul, I saw this alert and warning, hence changed the hostname a bit, I will ping you the hostname seperately.

@Ravisagardid you find the cause in your case? I have the same issue and discovered some ONTAPI calls from a pii_encrypt tool.
