Best method to track usage of the file by the user?

Hello world

I currently need to look at a method for monitoring of the activities of the file in my organization and I need a little help to get started on the right track. I had some references point me to app Xcode Instrument via the business model of the file, but I currently have issues seeing any activity from users of the real network. to start, I simply set the target to "All processes" with the hope that it would bring together all activities and newspaper, in which he did for everything except users on the network. On mine, I also found some people who use scripts to dtrace or opensnoop, but I was hoping someone could point to what they think, it's the "best" method to track when a file/folder is accessed and/or modified.

Also, as a note, we are in a mixed environment and so we only via SMB as our file sharing protocol in the case where it makes a difference. I know that in newspapers of the server application, it does clearly as AFP titles widely as I can only find small amounts of data for SMB in the newspapers (disconnects / reconnects, permissions, etc.). If I need to flesh out the details as well, this isn't a problem, and thank you to you all in advance.

As with everything, there are a number of ways to accomplish.  Manager of the 'better' is one that works in your environment and that you feel comfortable.

You can watch the common criteria framework that is built into OS X.  Try checking the man and man audit_control to get an idea of what is possible.  If you enable the service, you will record only login, logout, and authentication.  However, adding to the indicators you can save the file reads, writes, creates and deletes (most other things).  Are you trying to follow everything on local machines or just the server?

Now, if you do this, you'll generate a lot of logging data.  The most logical way to handle this is to aggregate the log data into a centralized syslog server.  But it of more infrastructure and will pose challenges if you breadwinner and because portable computers that let the environment.

  • What is the best method to add data to a file stored on a usb flash drive to avoid too many write cycles?

    Hello

    I'm trying to store an important data on a cRIO sampled stream in the USB flash drive.

    I believe that there are two ways to add data to a file:

    1. open the file outside of the loop, then write to the file loop, then close the file outside the loop.

    Pros; More quickly and efficiently than the opening and closing of files in a loop is resource heavy equipment.

    Disadvantages; If the program fails partially through, all data is lost.

    2. open the file, write to the file and close the file, all in the loop.

    With the advantages and disadvantages as opposed to option 1.

    As my cRIO is finally deployed in a hostile environment and data are valuable and processing speed is not an issue of concern in this project, I'm leaning towards option 2, but after a few basic calculations that I realize that I'll be writing/opening/closing the file of thousands of times and I wanted to know if this will wear out the flash memory?

    My uncertainty is due to not understanding what happens when a file is opened written to and closed.  He writes the new data to new areas of the flash, or it write all data on top?  The latter would cause me problems not too long term!

    Any help gratefully received.

    A big thank you and best regards,

    Ed

    The 'magic' is not in the File Format (PDM vs vs binary text), but in the "life" of the file.  This solution creates a file of 24 hours and maintains a different file for each day.  If the USB "dies", you lose everything you have not backed up somewhere.  If the program dies (or errors), you lose the data for the current day.  You end up with multiple files (which can be a more or less), but we must still make the trade-off between (duration) of the file and the file number opens (which relates to your concern for the longevity of the USB).  By the way, I suspect that a good quality USB key (it's what you mean, right?  Or do you mean a hard drive USB powered?  Comments probably apply both) can predict today to not die on you, everything just because you make a lot of reads/writes (of course, you could get in-a-thousand...).

  • Best method for photo ID for the portfolio & how to retrieve images of portfolio as a group?

    Hello!

    I'm embarrassed to say that after all these years I manually choose my portfolio of images in Lightroom and know that there is a much easier way.  What is the best way to mark the portfolio images and then retrieve them as a group?  I can't use the star ratings that I use these for internal sorting on employment.

    Keywords would be the best way to go, i.e. Enter 'portfolio' or 'the portrait portfolio' for selected images?

    How would you then access the entire catalog and search on these terms?

    Thank you so much everyone and the best, Teri

    You can use keywords, color labels, choose the flags, or any searchable metadata field. There is no 'best '. They all work.

    Click on all the pictures and then the filter or smart collections bar will allow you to do research and create the portfolio.

  • Best method to keep clients updated

    I have five seats for Creative cloud, so five workstations that need updates installed on a regular basis.

    In common with most of the companies (I guess) we do not allow end users to have Admin Access, so WE have to do it for them.

    It may take some time - up to two hours per work station if it's been neglected for a month or two.

    IT is not the time for that, and end users cannot save their machines for her.

    I can't believe there isn't an automated method that does not require the user has administrator rights.

    What is the right way to do this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Updated - I discovered the conditioner and the Update Manager remotely.

  • How can I make user custom interface e-mail allow the user to control the tests?

    Hello.

    I am totally new to TestStand and I try to use it to test a simple dll to a larger system, as kind of an assessment to see if we want to migrate to this system.

    I use TestStand 4.2 with LabWindows/CVI 8.5... He was going along fine, but now I'm stuck trying to customize the user interface

    Specifically, I want to have the user be able to control what are called in the order and be able to choose (through, say, a digital control) what inputs are sent to the object to be measured.

    I found a few examples, but they seem just to manage the display of TS data to the user interface, not * is * data of the UI back to TS...

    Is there a tutorial that handles such things?

    I'm seriously lost here.

    To answer your question, the best way to get info from the user interface in the file of the sequence is to do the same thing were the examples you were watching.  Except that your data will be the SequenceContext.  Then, you can use the nodes property or even the screws TS to set the properties inside your sequence.

    There may be a better way to accomplish what you want though.  Why not pop up a dialog box (written in CVI) in the (substituted in your movie file) PreUUT with a list of 'tests' of your sequence?  The user can select which tests they want to run.  Then the prerequisites for your steps which indicate the step execution based on what the user has selected.  The dialog box can also have entries that is filled to the sequence (with parameters) which can FileGlobals or people of the country or whatever.

    User interface messages are used for the duration of decisions or feedback.  It seems that your case would be more than one once a decision to run.  Unless they choose tests during execution.

    Hope this helps,

  • The user account lock & expired

    Hi all

    I'm confused, what is the difference of locking of account & expired he brings to the user or the owner?

    If I blocked an account that it cannot connect.

    If I have an account on expiry it may not also login.

    So, what is the difference?

    Thank you

    Petra k

    My delimma is that we have a lot of 'unknown' users created in our database of PROD. Some oracle tools and some come from our 3 party apps tools. We ask the IT audit

    to remove unused user accounts. But I don't know where users are not used. If I lock it and nobody complains doesn't mean that it is not used? If I have password expire it?

    What is the best to use to check if the USER name is not used? Lock it or it expires?

    You must read this quote from doc that I have provided, because it exactly answers your question. It tells you the difference between expiring and the account was locked.

  • How to allow the user to filter the report data?

    I read a lot of entries on this topic related to interactive reports. From what I can tell, the version we are on... 3.0.1.00.08, does not have the 'classic' vs 'interactive '. So, can someone recommend the best way for me to allow the user to filter report results? Specifically, the user wants to be able to see only active records, but I also want that they want to see all documents (active and inactive).

    Thank you
    Kristina

    Kristina,

    You can add a list "select" to your page. Calling it something like P1_LIST and add it to your where clause as...

    select
    col1,
    col2,
    col3
    from table
    where col2 = decode (:P1_LIST, '-1', col2, :P1_LIST)
    

    You can set the LOV to auto-submit or have a 'Send' button so that your report is filtered according to the value of P1_LIST.

    Also, in the properties of your selection list, set the 'Null view' to 'Yes', 'Display Null value' to something like 'ALL' (or whatever text you want) and the "Null return value'-1 (or whatever value you have in decoding).

    I hope this helps.

  • Accidentally deleted a dynamic link library (DLL) file and the need to replace one possibly other system files - what is the best method?

    I did a system restore to a point before that my main user account has been established.  I had to set up a new user, and then it was suggested that to copy all the data of the user "existing" to the newly created user.  When I did this it's not well at all and some DLL files have been corrupted or deleted or not connecting correctly to the user of your choice.  I actually then did a restore of the system to the last restore point.  However, given that SR does not change the data, I was stuck with the wrong DLL and other system files.  I thought I had stupid test because I had backed up data.  I tried to restore to an earlier point (using Windows backup and restore).  Unfortunately the restore will not work and I get the following error: "a systematic failure of the initialization of the Dynamic Link Library (DLL).  I need to repair or replace the corrupt to get the system back and then protected files again.  I'd appreciate any help!

  • Best method to import the external drive?

    I have a LaCie 1 t and you want to know the best method to get these images in LR. The default values are: 'Add' and 'NewPhotos' to 'Moncatalogue '.

    I think I may have more than one catalog and do not know how to combine them. It is advisable to have a single catalog?

    Thanks in advance,

    Mr. Mayor

    There is no "best" method, there are methods that work for you and the methods that do not work for you.

    If the files are on the external hard drive, then 'Add' certainly would work, he leaves photographing in existing records.

    In almost all situations, you want to use a single catalog. (The only situations where you may want several catalogues are if the object of the catalog it is completely incompatible with the purpose of the catalogue 2, for example, business and personal).

    You can combine catalogs by opening one and then use file-> import from another catalog and points to the catalog on the other.

  • What is the best method to move from an iPhoto from one Mac to another library?

    What is the I best method for export/transfer my iPhoto on MBP to the iPhoto library library on my iMac? I prefer to keep my metadata intact; I guess that to do a package contents 'show' of my iPhoto and AirDropping the 'masters' library, I won't lose it? I'm under El Capitan 10.11.4 on Mac.

    I just want to explain my situation because maybe I'm missing something. I have SUMMER will use the photo library iCloud for synchronization on all my Apple devices and as a backup off-site. Fortunately, I realized soon as enough it would become a management NIGHTMARE. I downloaded everything from iCloud to my MBP and want to get it all on my iMac, so I can clean up the mess of duplicates and others.

    I couldn't synchronize with realism of the iCloud photo library to my iMac because I would have had to download about 150 + GB of data, so that I can download the 30 or GBs who were on my families iOS devices iCloud and the MBP. ICloud photo library interface is NOT well designed or easy to use - download directly from the cloud is heavy at best.

    All tips are appreciated, thanks.

    Simply connect the two Macs together and drag the library in the pictures of the new mac folder - or use an external hard drive to the Mac OS extended (journaled) format and drag through - then launch iPhoto on the new system

    Move the masters moves original photos and metadata exactly as they were imported without organization

    And iCloud library isn't an option for iPhoto - it requires OS X 10.10.1 and photos 1 or later version

  • When I drag files in WMP the sequence of songs is not because it is in the list of files. the first certain tracks are at the bottom of the playlist

    When I drag music files in WMP and in the field of reading list, the sequence of songs is not as it should be determined in accordance with the list of files in Explorer windows, the first or the first few tracks are at the bottom of the playlis.
    For example when I drag the track 1 to 10 in WMP playlist could end up with the 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,1,2,3 sequence. It ranges from which follow playlist starts with, but the first track (s) (rare) is at the bottom every time.

    PS. Shuffle is not lit.

    Is not necessarily any indication of a fault as WMP does this, even when it is running correctly [he apparently gets files loaded in the order that they appear in the allocation table disk files].

    You can

    1 after dragging in the playlist, drag files to the top or to the bottom of the playlist in the desired order before you save the playlist.

    2 Allocate Index properties for each track before slipping as WMP then normally behave correctly when you drag them.

    3 you can also drag the in WMP individually to achieve the same end result.
