Custom subchapters

List of the reporting subchapters created from custom queries to the SPS connection database. The list of tables and fields you can query are described in "Database tables available for custom queries" in the Administration Guide.

URL
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/reporting/custom_subchapters
Cookies
Cookie name Description Required Values
session_id Contains the authentication token of the user Required

The value of the session ID cookie received from the REST server in the authentication response, for example, a1f71d030e657634730b9e887cb59a5e56162860. For details on authentication, see Authenticate to the SPS REST API.

NOTE: This session ID refers to the connection between the REST client and the SPS REST API. It is not related to the sessions that SPS records (and which also have a session ID, but in a different format)..

Sample request

Element Type Description
key string Top level element, contains the ID of the custom subchapter.
body Top level element (string) The elements of the custom subchapter.
access list

Required. List of access control groups whose members can access the subchapter.

To deny access to the subchapter, use "admin" as the only value for the element.

chart Top level element Defines the properties of the chart generated from the database query.
type string

Defines the chart type.

  • Use bar to generate a bar chart.

    You have to provide the y_axis_title element for bar charts (its can be null).

  • Use pie to generate pie a chart.

  • Use list to generate a list.

    You have to provide the column_titles element for lists (it can be null).

y_axis_title string

Required if the type element is set to bar.

The name of the y axis for the generated bar chart.

column_titles list

Required if the type element is set to list.

The column titles for the generated list.

name string The name of the subchapter.
query string

The SQL database query for creating the subchapter.

Caution:

Generating a report that includes an Advanced statistics chapter that returns several thousands of entries requires significant CPU and memory resources from One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS). While generating such a partial report, the web interface of SPS can become slow or unresponsive.

Examples:

Create a bar chart with a custom title for the y-axis:

"chart": {
  "type": "bar",
  "y_axis_title": "Y_axis"
}

Create a pie chart:

"chart": {
  "type": "pie"
}

Create a list with custom column names:

"chart": {
  "column_titles": [
    "col1",
    "col2"
  ],
  "type": "list"
}

Elements Type Description

health_status

 

null or object

The health status of a node. When queried, it lists data related to the given node's health (in the case of HA, this means the current master node).

memory floating point number

Memory usage (percent)

disk floating point number Hard disk usage (percent)
swap floating point number Swap usage (percent)
cpu floating point number Overall CPU usage (percent)
load1 floating point number

The average system load during the last one minute.

load5 floating point number

The average system load during the last five-minute period.

load15 floating point number

The average system load during the last fifteen-minute period.

sessions string

The protocol type and the number of ongoing sessions. For example:

"sessions": {
  "ssh": 3,
  "rdp": 4
},
total_sessions integer (number of) The total number of ongoing sessions.
system_details JSON object Various details about the CPU, disk, memory and swap usage of the appliance. Note that the exact set of metrics is determined by the underlying kernel and system libraries, therefore it might change between different versions of Safeguard for Privileged Sessions without notice.

 

pipeline-queues

JSON object

Represents the fullness of the processing pipelines in percentages.

The number of CPUs determine the load a system can handle without causing the processes having to wait. As a generic rule of thumb, if the load is less than the number of processor cores of the appliance, the overall system load can be considered normal, otherwise it might be an indication of performance issues.
