2.1.7 Communication between Sentinel Log Manager and NFS/
CIFS Archive Servers
Sentinel Log Manager can be configured to archive event and raw data to a remote CIFS or NFS*
server. These protocols do not offer data encryption, so consider security implications before
deciding the type of archive location to use. An alternative is to use direct attached storage (local or
SAN), which does not suffer from the same security vulnerabilities. If you choose to use CIFS or
NFS, it is important to configure the CIFS or NFS server properly to maximize the security of your
data.
