Hi There,  
I installed Auditbeat to monitor who is changed or deleted file share, It works well if I login window and change or delete the files and shows who delete these files. but the Aauditbeat message doesn't **show who deleted or changed the file** when I access via the shared folder.  
I am just a newbie, I hope that you are going to help me.

Many thanks,

The file\_integrity module tells you when a file changes, but does not tell you information about the user that made changes. None of the OS [APIs used to monitor](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/auditbeat/current/auditbeat-module-file_integrity.html#_how_it_works_2) the changes provide this detail.

If you need to monitor the user that makes the changes then use the operating system's auditing features. On Windows you can setup a file auditing policy and then collect the audit events with Winlogbeat [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/auditing/apply-a-basic-audit-policy-on-a-file-or-folder](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-protection/auditing/apply-a-basic-audit-policy-on-a-file-or-folder). On Linux you can use the auditd module that's part of Auditbeat.
