reference string

The key of the custom, content, or statistics subchapter.

  • For the keys of the reporting subchapters created from custom queries to the SPS connection database, see the custom_subchapters endpoint.

  • For the keys of the reporting subchapters created from audit trail content (statistics of search keywords, and screenshots), see the reporting/content_subchapters endpoint.

  • For the keys of the reporting subchapters created from connection statistics, see the reporting/statistics_subchapters endpoint.

To include a custom, content, or statistics subchapter, use the value of its key element, not the name.

selection string

This element can have two values:

  • Set builtin for the default reporting subchapters.

  • Set custom for all other subchapters (custom, content or statistics).
Examples:

Set the e-mail recipients to the default (as configured in the reporting_address element of the /api/configuration/management/email endpoint):

"email_recipients": {
  "selection": "default"
}

Create a custom set of e-mail recipients:

"email_recipients": {
  "recipients": [
    "<email-1>",
    "<email-2>"
  ],
  "selection": "other"
}

Add a reporting chapter with built-in subchapters:

"chapters": [
  {
    "name": "<custom-name>",
    "subchapters": [
      {
        "name": "system_health_filesystem_usage",
        "selection": "builtin"

    PUT the modified JSON object to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/reporting/reports/<key-of-the-report> endpoint. You can find a detailed description of the available parameters listed in Element .

  3. Commit your changes.

    For details, see Commit a transaction.

Generate a report for a custom time period

To generate a report for a custom time period, you have to:

  1. Define the custom time period for the report.

    GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/reporting/reports. Search for the name of the report that you want to run on a custom time period. Copy the value of key.

  2. POST the parameters to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/reports endpoint. The following parameter is required:

    • configuration_id

    The following parameters are optional.

    • start: start timestamp in the format of either YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM.

    • end: end timestamp in the format of either YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM.

    • force: By default: False. If you set it to True, you can regenerate a report that has already been generated before.

    If you do not enter the optional parameters, the start timestamp defaults to 1970.01.01 and the end timestamp defaults to the timestamp of when the report was generated.

    NOTE: Timestamps are according to UTC.

    This means that for example, if you are located in an UTC+1 region, a report that has the end parameter configured as 2020-01-18 will actually have an end date/time of 2020-01-18 01:00.

    Example: Generate a report for a custom time period
    https://198.51.100.0/api/reports?configuration_id=8292675195707f19d932af&start=2020-02-01&end=2020-02-18

  3. You will receive a response similar to the following:

Content subchapters

Reporting subchapters created from audit trail content (statistics of search keywords, and screenshots). You have to provide a list of keywords, and create the appropriate filters to narrow down the scope of the search. SPS searches the indexed content of all audit trails that fit the filter criteria, and provide the resulting statistics and screenshots in the report.

Configure and enable indexing for all connections that you want to include in the reports.

URL
GET https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/reporting/content_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 that 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).

Code Description Notes
201 Created The new resource was successfully created.
400 InvalidQuery The requested filter or its value is invalid.
400

Path: <endpoint>/filter/channel_policy

Type: SyntacticError

 You have included the key and meta elements of a channel_policy in a PUT or POST request.
401 Unauthenticated The requested resource cannot be retrieved because the client is not authenticated and the resource requires authorization to access it. The details section contains the path that was attempted to be accessed, but could not be retrieved.
403 Unauthorized The requested resource cannot be retrieved because the client is not authorized to access it. The details section contains the path that was attempted to be accessed, but could not be retrieved.

Add a content subchapter

To add a content subchapter, you have to:

  1. Open a transaction.

    For details, see Open a transaction.

  2. Create the JSON object for the new content subchapter.

    POST the JSON object to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/reporting/content_subchapters/ endpoint. You can find a detailed description of the available parameters listed in Element .

    • To use a channel policy for filtering, use the key of the policy. You must also set the protocol element to the corresponding protocol.

      For example, to use the shell-only channel policy, which is a default SSH policy provided by SPS, you have to configure both the channel_policy element…

      "channel_policy": "-10000"

      …and the protocol element:

      "protocol": "ssh"

    If the POST request is successful, the response includes the key of the new subchapter. For example:

    {
  "key": "416bb324-b44e-4ed3-a49d-02e99e53e941",
  "meta": {
    "href": "/api/configuration/reporting/content_subchapters/416bb324-b44e-4ed3-a49d-02e99e53e941",
    "parent": "/api/configuration/reporting/content_subchapters",
    "transaction": "/api/transaction"
  }
}
  3. Commit your changes.

    For details, see Commit a transaction.

Modify a content subchapter

To modify a content subchapter, you have to:

  1. Open a transaction.

    For details, see Open a transaction.

  2. Modify the JSON object of the subchapter.

    You can find a detailed description of the available parameters listed in Element

    To use a channel policy for filtering, do not include the returned key and meta elements of the channel policy in your PUT request. Instead, set the value of the channel_policy to the value of its key.

    For example, if a GET request for the subchapter returns the following channel_policy filter:

    "channel_policy": {
  "key": "-10200",
  "meta": {
    "href": "/api/configuration/ssh/channel_policies/-10200"
  }
}

    You have to change it in your PUT request to:

    "channel_policy": "-10200"

    You must also configure the protocol element to the protocol of the channel policy.

  3. Upload the modified configuration

    PUT the modified JSON object to the https://<IP-address-of-SPS>/api/configuration/reporting/content_subchapters/<subchapter-key> endpoint.

  4. Commit your changes.

    For details, see Commit a transaction.
