Abstract
Automated file system event tracking and reporting techniques are described in which file system events requested by a user application are intercepted and recorded prior to the request being permitted to pass to the file system for execution. Similarly, file system responses to a prior captured file system event are also intercepted and recorded. Predefined patterns of file system event may be aggregated and reported as a single event.
Claims15
A file system tracking method, comprising:
- intercepting by a processor a file system security change request directed to a target file system object, the target file system object having a current security state, the security change request specifying a final security state;
- recording the current security state in a memory;
- communicating by the processor the security change request to a file system;
- intercepting by the processor an indication that the security change request has been processed by the file system;
- and
- recording the final security state in the memory,
- wherein the target file system object is a file directory, the act of recording the current security state and the final security state further comprises recording a current security state and a final security state of a second file system object, wherein the second file system object is within the target file system object.
