Specifying the maximum size of the cifsaudit.alf file

You can use the cifs.audit.logsize option to specify the maximum size of the cifsaudit.alf file.

Step

1. Enter the following command: options cifs.audit.logsize size size is the number of bytes. If you enter an invalid number, a message displays the range of acceptable values.
   Note: Data ONTAP overwrites the oldest data after the cifsaudit.alf file reaches the maximum size. To prevent loss of event data, you should save the cifsaudit.alf file before it is filled. By default, when the file is 75 percent full, a warning message is issued. Additional warning messages are sent when the file is nearly full and data is about to be overwritten, and when data has already been overwritten.
