# Understanding EMS alerts for Autonomous Ransomware Protection
<a name="EMS-ARP"></a>

You can use NetApp ONTAP's Events Management System (EMS) to monitor events related to ARP including potential attacks. For more information about ARP and how it detects attacks, see [How ARP works](ARP.md#how-ARP-works) and [What ARP looks for](ARP.md#ARP-detects). 

The following table contains all of the alerts related to ARP. For more information about EMS, see [Monitoring FSx for ONTAP EMS events](ems-events.md). 


****  

| EMS message name | EMS message description | 
| --- | --- | 
|  `arw.analytics.ext.report`  |  This message occurs when anti-ransomware analytics generate or update the **suspicious file extensions** report for a volume.  | 
|  `arw.analytics.high.entropy`  |  This message occurs when the number of high entropy data log messages (pertaining to ransomware detection and analysis) cross the predefined threshold for a volume.  | 
|  `arw.analytics.probability`  |  This message occurs when an anti-ransomware attack probability has changed from `low` to `high` on a volume.  | 
|  `arw.analytics.report`  |  This message occurs when an anti-ransomware analytics report is generated or updated for a volume.  | 
|  `arw.analytics.suspects`  |  This message occurs when a list of suspects generated by anti-ransomware analytics grows to a point where further investigation is needed.  | 
|  `arw.new.file.extn.seen`  |  This message occurs when a new file extension is observed in an anti-ransomware enabled volume. Its purpose is to promptly notify the user about the observed extension, which enables timely investigation.  | 
|  `arw.snapshot.created`  |  This message occurs when a new ARP snapshot is created in an anti-ransomware enabled volume. Additionally, it provides information about the reason why the snapshot was created.  | 
|  `arw.volume.state`  |  This message occurs when the anti-ransomware state of a volume is changed.  | 
|  `arw.vserver.state`  |  This message occurs when the anti-ransomware state of an SVM is changed.  |
