- Verify that the Agent is running and FS driver is loaded using the following commands:
sc query edpa
sc query vfsmfd
- Verify that the FS driver is attached to the drive on which files were copied using the following commands:
fltmc instances -f vfsmfd
Here's sample screenshot of the output of the above command:

In the above case F: corresponds to a USB drive.
- If all the above steps were satisfactory then verify the file filters are configured properly.
- Verify that the device and the file is configured to be monitored.
- Verify that the file is not over 30MB as detection has a limit and will not detect on files greater than 30MB.
- If all the above steps are still satisfactory, then change the log level of FileSystemConnector component to FINER using the following command:
- Open a command prompt.
- cd to agent installed directory.
- Type "vontu_sqlite3 -db=cg.ead -p=VontuStop" (without quotes)
- This will display a sqlite prompt.
- At the prompt type the following command:
insert into configuration values ('Logging', 'FileSystemMessageListenerLevel', 'str', 'FINER');
- Type "quit".
- Restart the agent using "sc stop edpa". Watchdog will restart the agent.
- Copy the test file and verify that the log file contains the following logs. The logs should contain following entries corresponding to FileSytemMessageListener:
03/03/2009 16:22:26 | 6080 | FINER | FileSystemMessageListener | Received file information from file system mini filter driver for: \Device\HarddiskVolume1:\agenttest\abc.txt access: 1 processid: 6076
03/03/2009 16:22:26 | 6080 | FINER | FileSystemMessageListener | The file (\agenttest\abc.txt) will be monitored
03/03/2009 16:22:26 | 1764 | FINER | FileSystemMessageListener | Received file close from file system mini filter driver for: \agenttest\abc.txt temp. filename:284408019506831775.VEP
If the above events are logged then the FileSystem is enabled properly. The next step is to check Detection.
