Many companies use shared directories or files to allow different users to access the information and if necessary modify them.
When I am on customer site implementing new NetEye projects, it happens very often that there is the need to monitor the accesses on these shared files.
To satisfy this requirement it is necessary to enable the “Audit Object Access” in the group policy of the domain or of the machine itself.
Based on the different configurations, in fact, all the activities (listen, read or write) performed on these files can be monitored.
The results can later be viewed in the Event Viewer of NetEye and in particular all the logs are stored in the security container. In addition, by identifying the event id it is also possible to configure the Agent Safed that collects and send these logs to the NetEye syslog server that archives and indexes them.

Hi Tobias, I’m working on this solution but unfortunately Syslog View doesn’t send notifications.
Of course, it’s a really good repository to store audit events.
I’m trying a different way like enabling snmp trap on the server and manage the “Audit Object Access” with Trap Handler module in NetEye.
It works quite good!
