Description

Identifies which running processes access files in real time, making filesystem activity easier to diagnose. It helps administrators and developers find unexpected reads, writes, or noisy applications.

File-access monitoring can reveal private paths, filenames, and application behavior. Run it only where process monitoring is allowed and protect captured logs.
