If the rate of file access event generation exceeds 64 MiB/minute, the [Activity log](monitor-azure-netapp-files.md) sends a message stating that the rate of file access log generation is exceeding the limit. If log generation exceeds the limit, logging events can be delayed or dropped. If you are approaching this limit, disable noncritical auditing ACLs to reduce the event generation rate. As a precaution, you can [create an alert](/azure/azure-monitor/alerts/alerts-create-activity-log-alert-rule) for this event.

The Azure NetApp Files file access logs feature provides you with access logs for files accessed (data plane logging) on volumes. With this feature, administrators can enable logging to view and report on file access operations sent to a variety of logging destinations. Standard file system operations are captured in the logs. File access logs is supported with SMB, NFSv4.1, and dual-protocol (SMB and NFSv4.1) volumes.
