Activity Center

The Activity Center is the place to go to view the details of specific events or user activity. The appliance records all activities performed within One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Passwords. Any administrator has access to the audit log information; however, your administrator permission set determines what audit data you can access. For more information, see Administrator permissions.

Activity Center: Main page toolbar

The toolbar at the top of the main Activity Center page contains these options.

  • Clear: Resets the current search criteria back to the default settings (all activity occurring within the last 24 hours.)
  • Schedule: Allows you to define when the activity audit log report is to be generated and sent via email as well as the format of the report (.csv or .json). For more information, see Scheduling an activity audit log report.
  • Open: Allows you to access previously saved search and scheduled reports.
  • Save: Saves the current search criteria which can be used later to generate the report. For more information, see Saving search criteria.
  • Export: Select to create a .csv or .json file of the criteria displayed and save it to a location of your choice.
  • Run button: Generates an activity audit log report based on the search criteria specified.

In addition, query tiles display the criteria you have applied to search the activity data. By default, only the Activity category and Time frame tiles display. Use the Add button to specify additional query criteria to retrieve the information you are looking for. For more information, see Applying search criteria.

Activity Center: Results page toolbar

Once an activity audit log report is generated, the results page contains the search results grid and these toolbar options.

  • Back: Takes you back to the query page where you can modify the search criteria.
  • Refresh: Closes the details and updates the search results page.

Applying search criteria

Use the query builder in the Activity Center to add and remove data from your activity audit log report to get the information you need.

By default, an activity audit log report includes all activity occurring within the last 24 hours. However, using the query tiles provided you can specify search criteria to retrieve specific information from the activity audit log. The search criteria available includes:

  • I would like to see: Complete the Select an Activity Category dialog to narrow parameters and event details)
  • Occuring within the: Complete the Select a Timeframe dialog by hours, days, or a custom time frame you set.
  • Click to add any of the following additional criteria:
    • Add User then select one user.
    • Add Asset then select one asset.
    • Add Account then select one account.
    • Add Search Value: For sessions, you can search by keyword or value.

To generate an activity audit log report
