Enabling file audit logging on a file system

Use this information to enable file audit logging on a file system in IBM Storage Scale.

Important:

Only one type of file audit logging can be enabled per file system. You can either enable file system auditing, fileset auditing, or skip fileset auditing.

To enable a file system for file audit logging, run the mmaudit command.
```
mmaudit Device enable
```
To update the events being audited, filesets to audit or filesets to skip, run the mmaudit command.
```
mmaudit Device update --events OPEN,CLOSE
```
For more information, see the mmaudit command.
Note:
- If the Object protocol is enabled on the file system that contains the file audit logging fileset, ensure that additional inodes are defined for it before you enable file audit logging.
- In an ESS environment, file audit logging must be enabled manually on non-EMS and ESS I/O nodes.
- For more information about validating that a node is getting events after file audit logging is enabled, see Monitoring the file audit logging fileset for events.

Note: Enabling file audit logging is audited and recorded by syslog. For more information, see Audit messages for cluster configuration changes.
