Arctera Insight Information Governance Administrator's Guide

Cluster Management Host

Enter the host name or IP address EMC Unity Cluster Management host interface that is used to manage the nodes in the cluster.

Collector

Do the following:

Information Governance connects to the Unity Cluster Management host from this server. Arctera recommends that the Collector worker node share a fast network with the cluster management host.

Indexer

Do the following:

Events and metadata that are collected from the cluster are processed and stored on the Indexer node.

You can also migrate the file server to another Indexer.

Cluster Management Interface credentials

Information Governance uses the credentials that you specify to discover the following:

To enable Information Governance to successfully discover shares, ensure that HTTP port 80 is not blocked between Information Governance Collector and Unity file server.

Specifying the filer administrator credentials is optional, if you choose to not monitor events on the filer, nor enable share discovery.

See Credentials required for configuring an EMC Unity VSA file server.

Test credentials

Click to test the availability of network connection between the Collector worker node and the filer, and to test the validity of specified credentials.

Arctera recommends that you test the connection before proceeding to ensure that Information Governance is able to connect to the cluster management host.

By default, Information Governance does not test credentials for the following HOMEDIR shares:

Enable CIFS monitoring

Select this check box to enable monitoring of CIFS shares.

Monitoring details

Select Automatically discover and monitor shares on this filer to allow Information Governance to automatically discover shares of the filer and add them to the configuration.

Discovery of shares takes place as soon as you add a new filer and then twice each day at 2:00 A.M. and 2:00 P.M.

You can also choose to add shares manually.

Exclude shares from discovery

Enter the details of shares which should not be included during discovery.

This option is available if you select Automatically discover all shares on this filer. Specify comma-separated patterns that you want to ignore. Patterns can have 0 or more wildcard * characters. For example, tmp* ignores tmp_A, tmp_abc, *$ ignores shares C$, EXT$, and others.

Enable file system event monitoring

Select to enable event monitoring on the filer.

Enable filer scanning

Select the check box to enable filer scanning according to the specified schedule.

Scan new shares immediately

Select this option to scan newly added shares immediately, instead of waiting for the normal scan schedule. Scanning proceeds only when scanning is permitted on the Collector node.

Scanner credentials

See Credentials required for configuring a clustered NetApp file server.

Scanning schedule for full scans

Select one of the following to define a scanning schedule for shares of this filer:

See Custom schedule options.

Arctera Insight Information Governance periodically scans shares of the filer to obtain file metadata and security descriptors. Each Collector worker node by default initiates a full scan of shares at 7:00 P.M. on the last Friday of each month.
