Can sysedge monitor change in file permissions on unix boxes

  • 1.  Can sysedge monitor change in file permissions on unix boxes

    Posted Jul 07, 2015 08:14 AM

    Hello Folks,

     

    We have requirement from one of the customer where he wants an alert whenever there is a change in the file system permissions for a user / group / others. Bascially a chmod command execution.

     

    Can sysedge generate a trap for the same?

     

    Thanks

    This cannot be done completely out of the box, but could be implemented via a MIB Extension... A script would need to be written to monitor what you need accordingly and then SysEDGE would execute that script and return a status/trap accordingly based on the results.

     

    While not comprehensive, there are some basic examples in the Bookshelf. If you need further details about the MIB Extension, I would recommend opening a support case, referencing this thread.
