I would like to get the username of an accessed file (add, delete, rename,...). actually I use filesystemwatcher to monitor the file access and I have activated object acces
From My last program ( 2 week ago) - I was asked to audit change in files ( also the user name)
the Solution was by filesystemwatcher and after an event -> goto the Event Log of windows and bu Xpath search - To find which user made the action.
public static EventUnit DisplayEventAndLogInformation(string fileToSearch, DateTime actionTime)
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
const string queryString = @"<QueryList>
<Query Id=""0"" Path=""Security"">
<Select Path=""Security"">*</Select>
</Query>
</QueryList>";
EventLogQuery eventsQuery = new EventLogQuery("Security", PathType.LogName, queryString);
eventsQuery.ReverseDirection = true;
EventLogReader logReader = new EventLogReader(eventsQuery);
EventUnit e = new EventUnit();
bool isStop = false;
for (EventRecord eventInstance = logReader.ReadEvent(); null != eventInstance; eventInstance = logReader.ReadEvent())
{
foreach (var VARIABLE in eventInstance.Properties)
if (VARIABLE.Value.ToString().ToLower().Contains(fileToSearch.ToLower()) && actionTime.ToString("d/M/yyyy HH:mm:ss") == eventInstance.TimeCreated.Value.ToString("d/M/yyyy HH:mm:ss"))
{
foreach (var VARIABLE2 in eventInstance.Properties) sb.AppendLine(VARIABLE2.Value.ToString());
e.Message = sb.ToString();
e.User = (eventInstance.Properties.Count > 1) ? eventInstance.Properties[1].Value.ToString() : "n/a";
e.File = fileToSearch;
isStop = true;
break;
}
if (isStop) break;
try
{
// Console.WriteLine("Description: {0}", eventInstance.FormatDescription());
}
catch (Exception e2)
{
}
}
return e;
}
