    Reporting capabilities of ADAudit Plus

    Event categories tracked

    ADAudit Plus provides comprehensive event tracking capabilities for Azure file shares. It captures various event categories related to file share activities, ensuring complete visibility into user actions and system events. Here is the list of event categories that ADAudit Plus effectively monitors:

    • Summary based on Users
    • Summary based on Servers
    • Summary based on Process
    • All File or Folder Changes
    • Files Created
    • Files Modified
    • Files Deleted
    • Files Moved
    • Files Renamed
    • File Read Access
    • Folder Permission Changes
    • Changes based on Servers
    • Changes based on Users

    Note: The Files Moved, Files Renamed, and Folder Permission Changes reports will only be generated for SMB file share events, not for REST API events.
