Installation

Use these instructions to install the File Activity Monitor (FAM) on your NAS or SharePoint environment.

Before you begin

Review the monitoring permissions: Monitoring Permissions.
For detailed platform prerequisites and support, see Supported platforms for file activity monitoring.
Prerequisite for EMC devices: To monitor an EMC device, the EMC Common Event Enabler (CEE) must be installed on the Windows proxy server where FAM is installed.

To monitor a NAS device, install FAM on a Windows server that can access the NAS device through the network. To monitor SharePoint, install FAM directly on the SharePoint server or SharePoint server farm.

Note: No other Guardium products must be installed on this server.
Download the FAM for NAS or FAM for SharePoint package from Fix Central to the server and extract this file.
From the FAM package installer directory and run the executable file setup.exe in the installer directory.
Follow the prompts in the wizard to complete the installation.
1. In the Network Addresses screen, enter a list of Guardium hostnames or IP addresses. If there is a failover, the FAM agent connects to the next appliance on the list.
