The administrator can meet this requirement by configuring data protection policies in the Files view in Prism Central. Data protection policies are policies that define how file data is protected by taking snapshots, replicating them to another site, or tiering them to cloud storage. Data protection policies can be configured for each share or export in a file server in the Files view in Prism Central. The administrator can create different data protection policies for different shares or exports based on their protection needs and requirements. References: Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 79; Nutanix Files Solution Guide, page 9

Nutanix Data Lens, a service integrated with Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS), provides data governance and security features for Nutanix Files. One of its key features is Audit Trails, which tracks user activities and file operations. The audit trails include specific details that can be monitored and reported.

Analysis of Options:

Option A (User Emails): Incorrect. Data Lens Audit Trails track user activities, but they do not specifically log user emails as an audit trail metric. User identities (e.g., usernames) are logged, but email addresses are not a standard audit trail field.

Option B (Client IPs): Correct. Data Lens Audit Trails include the client IP addresses from which file operations are performed, allowing administrators to track the source of user actions (e.g., which IP accessed or modified a file).

Option C (Files): Correct. Data Lens Audit Trails track file-level operations, such as access, modifications, deletions, and permission changes, making “Files” a key audit trail metric.

Option D (Anomalies): Incorrect. While Data Lens does detect anomalies (e.g., ransomware activity, unusual file operations), anomalies are a separate feature, not an audit trail. Audit Trails focus on logging specific user and file activities, while anomalies are derived from analyzing those activities.

Selected Audit Trails:

B: Client IPs are logged in audit trails to identify the source of file operations.

C: Files are the primary entities tracked in audit trails, with details on operations performed on them.

Exact Extract from Nutanix Documentation:

From the Nutanix Data Lens Administration Guide (available on the Nutanix Portal):

“Data Lens Audit Trails provide detailed logging of file operations, including the files affected, the user performing the action, and the client IP address from which the operation was initiated. This allows administrators to monitor user activities and track access patterns.”

The most efficient way to generate a report listing the files matching those in the exhibit is to use Report Builder in File Analytics. Report Builder is a feature that allows administrators to create custom reports based on various filters and criteria, such as file name, file type, file size, file owner, file age, file access time, file modification time, file permission change time, and so on. Report Builder can also export the reports in CSV format for further analysis or sharing. References: Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 97; Nutanix File Analytics User Guide
