Method and system for generating out-of-band notifications of client activity in a network attached storage (NAS) device

摘要

A method, a system, and non-transitory computer readable medium for generating out-of-band notifications of client activity in a network attached storage (NAS) device are provided herein. The method may include the following steps: monitoring a file system implemented on a NAS device to derive file activity data associated with file operations originated by clients; aggregating the file activity data on a notification queue; and sending notification messages to an external server, wherein the notification messages include at least some of the aggregated file activity data updated to a time of sending the notification message. In accordance with embodiments of the present invention, file operations originated by clients are carried out uninterruptedly by the aggregating of the file activity data and the sending of the notification messages.
