Introduction

The VAST Data Platform unifies storage, database, and containerized compute into a single, scalable software platform to power AI & deep learning in modern data centers and clouds.

Protocol Auditing in 5.1 and later allow audit records to be written to a database on the cluster, allowing administrators to quickly view user data access and to assist with security reviews.

This dashboard uses a Trino data source with the VAST Connector for Trino to give visibility into files on the VAST cluster, including:

  • Auditing entries over a specific time range, including the user, protocol, filename, and operation
  • Breakdown of users and operations over the time range
  • Amount of data read and written
  • Optional filtering of the above by path prefix, user, or action

Compatibility

This dashboard supports VAST 5.1 and later.
