Nutanix Files Activity Auditing Configuration

Configure the Netwrix Activity Monitor to monitor file activity on Nutanix Files devices.

Step 2 – Select File Server category. In the list of servers, select the server you want to audit.

Step 3 – Click Manage roles.

Step 4 – In the Manage roles dialog box locate the REST API access user section and click +New user.

Step 5 – Enter local user account name and password, then click Save to save the settings.

Step 6 – Click Close to close the Manage roles dialog box.
