Overview

Halo Storage Monitoring is a powerful service that enables automatic sanitization of supported file types at the point of upload. It can continuously monitor a wide range of cloud storage resources and sanitize files in real time.

When a file is uploaded to a monitored resource, Storage Monitoring automatically:

1. Downloads the file
2. Sends it to the Glasswall Embedded Engine for sanitization
3. Re-uploads a clean version of the file back to the original location

Prerequisites

• Halo v2.11.0 or later
• A valid Glasswall Halo license
• Publicly reachable cluster ingress address
  • Alternatively, you may whitelist the IPs of your chosen storage solution to ensure proper connectivity
• Monitor must be configured for each storage resource
• For SharePoint integration, Storage Monitoring must be registered with Microsoft Graph API

Using Storage Monitoring

To get started, follow our Storage Monitoring Setup Guide.
The setup process differs for new and existing Halo installations.

More technical details are available in the Storage Monitoring API documentation.
