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.
I started my professional career as a system administrator.
Over the years, my area of responsibility changed from administrative work to the architectural planning of systems.
During my activities at Würth Phoenix, the focus of my area of responsibility changed to the installation and consulting of the IT system management solution WÜRTHPHOENIX NetEye.
In the meantime, I take care of the implementation and planning of customer projects in the area of our unified monitoring solution.

Just like last year, we had the wonderful opportunity to attend FOSDEM, the most important open source conference in Europe. This year was no exception, and among the many exciting talks, one that particularly caught my attention was Alex Stefanini’s Read More
When designing an Elasticsearch architecture, choosing the right storage is crucial. While NFS might seem like a convenient and flexible option, it comes with several pitfalls when used for hosting live Elasticsearch data (hot, warm, cold, and frozen nodes). However, Read More
When using Kibana in environments that require a proxy to reach external services, you might encounter issues with unrecognized SSL certificates. Specifically, if the proxy is exposed with its own certificate and acts as an SSL terminator, requests made by Read More
In a previous post we went through the configuration of Elastic Universal Profiling in NetEye, seeing how we can profile applications written in programming languages that do not compile to native code (for example Python, PHP, Perl, etc.) But what Read More
Elastic 8.16, which comes with NetEye 4.39, made Elastic Universal Profiling generally available for self-hosted installations. This means that NetEye SIEM installations will now be able to take advantage of the continuous profiling solution by Elastic. In this blog post Read More
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!
