Querying trail content with the lucene-search function

 Caution:

Querying trail content with the lucene-search function is deprecated.

Due to the removal of lucene indices, you cannot search for content in lucene indices with the content request parameter on /api/audit/sessions and /api/audit/sessions/stats endpoints. For more information, see "Searching in the session database" in the REST API Reference Guide and "Session statistics" in the REST API Reference Guide.

Additionally, in Reporting, statistics subchapters that included the audit_content filter will also not work.

Alternatively, you can use Search-based subchapters with the screen.content filter to create statistics reports from connection metadata that included a specific content in the audit trail. To search in screen content, sessions must be indexed. For more information on content indexing, see Configuring the internal indexer.

For more information, see Creating search-based report subchapters from search results.

Creating PCI DSS reports

To help you comply with the regulations of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) can generate reports on the compliance status of SPS. Note that this is not a fully-featured compliance report: it is a tool to enhance and complement your compliance report by providing information available in SPS. The report corresponds with the document Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard, Requirements and Security Assessment Procedures, Version 3.0, published by the PCI Security Standards Council.

For details on the contents of the report, see Contents of PCI DSS reports.

To create PCI DSS reports

  1. Log in to the SPS web interface, and navigate to Reporting > Create & Manage Reports > Built-in reports > PCI DSS > Create report.

    Figure 345: Reporting > Create & Manage Reports > Built-in reports > PCI DSS > Create report — Generating PCI DSS reports

  2. By default, members of the report group can access the custom reports through the SPS web interface. To change this, click Edit and enter the name of a different group into the Groups field.

    NOTE: Members of the listed groups can access only these custom reports even if their groups do not have read access to the Reporting > Download reports page. However, only those reports will be listed, to which their group has access to.

  3. By default, SPS sends out the reports in email to the address set in the Basic Settings > Management > Mail settings > Send reports to field.

    NOTE: If this address is not set, the report is sent to the SPS administrator's email address.

  4. To disable email sending, clear the Deliver in email option.

  5. To email the reports to a different address, select Custom, and enter the email address where the reports should be sent. Click Add email to list multiple email addresses if needed.

  6. Click Update report.

  7. Click Create report.

    The report will be automatically added in the list of reports (Reporting > Download reports), and also sent in an e-mail to the regular recipients of the report.
