Hi Brian,  > [Share paths in Detail view] Was this new?  If not, great!   That's in the GA release.  > Data Insight is used here for auditing on another Isilon cluster used for NAS/File Shares.    There are quite a few third party CEE consumers.  We prefer not to document support for "sharing" audit messages without a full qualification effort with each application.  We have not done that for Data Insight, although the principle is the same.    > Scheduled scans should be a feature from the GUI or CLI, not a script.    Fully agree - GUI support is a planned future enhancement, this cron script is just intended to provide support until that time.  The script calls our REST API. > 1.  One of the feature enhancements we need for our internal customers is the ability during the search that the LINK displayed (where I mentioned /ifs/data) can be clicked on and take them right to the share/folder.  We don't provide a direct clickable link for now due to security restrictions in modern browsers that prevent interaction with the file system.  We plan to continue looking at this, though.  >  2.  I haven't been able to test this but I can assume with integration to A/D that users logged into Isilon Search will only be able to search/find/access files *if* they have permissions to do so.  If I could add my account, I could test this which is why I am asking the question.  In the current release, user search is based on ownership and SMB access rights.  When a user with "end user" access rights logs on, they are only able to see/search for files or folders they are the owner for (direct owner or in owner group), AND that they have access to via a CIFS/SMB share.  For example, if you are the owner of /home/james/mystuff/latest/file.txt, and your user has access to /myisilon/myhome (mapped to /home/james), you would be able to see the file in search results.  User search based on AD permissions is planned for the future, but the OneFS API doesn’t currently provide a way to efficiently collect those permissions in bulk.  That is being addressed by the OneFS team.  > 3.  Since this is designed for Isilon, I think this product should be a part of the product licensing feature for Isilon.  In other words, like SyncIQ or DeDupe licensing, we should be able to buy a license to deploy Isilon Search instead of viewing this a separate application.  This is a known concern - I'd defer to product management on this one.  > 4.  I haven't been able to test Isilon Search and cloudpools with ECS yet so I have no idea what the impact is.  I assume anytime the database is scanned AFTER the first scan it would skip files it knows about, but what happens to files on ECS?  Just metadata correct?  The scan/rescan will only pull the metadata of files and folders.  The behavior is the same whether the file is stubbed or not, and will not result in a recall.  Search actions are a different matter.  Both the download and FCI (full content indexing) actions will result in a recall of a stubbed file.  Therefore, to prevent accidently mass recalls, such actions are disabled for stubbed files by default.  However, this restriction can be removed in the Admin UI (Options tab).  If a file is migrated entiirely to the cloud (without a stub being left behind), Isilon Search will no longer track it.  Hope that helps.
Ok I have deployed a test Isilon Search VM on a test Isilon cluster.  Really easy to set up and use.  I've found a couple small bugs and a few feature enhancements.  I was wondering if anyone has used this solution yet and what you thought. So far I have found:  1.  A/D issues if a user account is similar, it rejects it. 2.  In production our users would not want /ifs/data in the path but the full SMB/NFS share path and a direct link to that path. 3.  CEE is an issue when we have other application using CEE, you have to turn off Isilon CEE and use manual search. 4.  You can only schedule manual searches, it does not yet allow you to scan automatically.  I've tried crontab settings but I haven't been able to get it to work.  If you've found any issues I have not listed, I would be interested in hearing that and any success stories. Overall I LOVE the product and I have found many use cases for it.  I know EMC has my feedback which I am hoping those enhancements get into the product before I present it to our internal customers.  What I don't have yet is pricing which kind of scares me [IMAGE]
