Audit file access to ANF SMB?

Question

Is it possible to enable file level access on an ANF SMB share and view the logs to look for activity on the file system by individual accounts?

For instance, on Windows there is Auditing with NTFS and you can log individual file activity by account, action, and resource. Obviously it can get intensive if used to liberally but can be helpful for tracking unexpected user activity.

File level access logs feature not available in current ANF design. But this feature in development pipeline and will be available in future, but no ETA.

This is such a major limitation and makes ANF unsuitable for almost any enterprise deployment. Suggest using another solution.
