You can ensure the integrity of your data files by verifying that the SHA Digest has not changed since the
LogLogic LMI appliance captured the data.
Use the
Data Files page to verify the SHA Digest. (See the CLI section for information on setting the appliance Digest.)
Note: To further ensure the integrity of data on an ST appliance, consider using a WORM (write once read many) storage server such as Network Appliance SnapLock.
Procedure
In the navigation menu, click
Administration
> Data Files.
The
Data Files page appears.
Click the check box to the left of each data file to verify.
Click
Verify to start the verification process.
When verification completes, a flag appears in the
Digest Verified column:
A green flag indicates successful verification of the Digest of the data files. The timestamp next to the green flag identifies the date and time the verification succeeded.
A red flag indicates failed verification. Mouse over the failure message for more information on the reason. A failure can mean any of the following:
The file was modified. Mouse over the failure to view the new Digest.
The file is no longer accessible. The file might be inaccessible for various reasons such as the location of the file has changed or the network connection is down and your file is on a storage server such as a NAS or Centera.
Note: The verification process has a low priority in the appliance. If the system is busy processing log data, the verification process might take longer than expected.
