Reporting

Reporting and User Action History Overview

Password Manager provides a simple and convenient way to view, print, and save reports and charts allowing you to analyze information on how the application is used. The reporting functionality within the solution is based on Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services as a common reporting environment.

The Reports section of the Administrator site includes a number of pre-defined reports that help you perform the following tasks:

  • Track user registration activity
  • Analyze information about what actions are performed by users in Password Manager
  • Check users’ registration status
  • View a list of users whose Questions and Answers profiles must be updated to comply with the current administrator-defined settings
  • Track helpdesk operators’ activity

The user action history provides records of all actions performed by users registered with Password Manager. You can search for records using a full-text search functionality. The user action history is provided by Enterprise Auditing Service embedded in Password Manager.

To use Password Manager reports, you need to connect to an SQL Server and a Report Server.

To use the user action history functionality, you need to connect to an SQL Server only.

 

 

Alternative options

You can use predefined Power BI templates to generate interactive reports as an alternative to Reporting. For more information on Power BI, see Working with Power BI.

Setting Up Reporting Environment

To enable the reporting functionality of Password Manager, ensure that the following requirements are met:

  • A SQL Server is deployed in your environment and the Password Manager database is configured on that server.
  • A SQL Server Reporting Services report server is installed in your working environment.
  • You have configured a connection to the report server through the Administration site.

The interactive Web-based reports are built on data that the report server retrieves from the Password Manager SQL database, and can be either viewed online or exported into multiple file formats.

Using Reports

You can create and view reports interactively using the Administration site, and save them to multiple file formats.

To use the reporting functionality, you have to specify the SQL Server to store the Password Manager database and connect to the Report Server that is capable of building reports using the data stored in the Password Manager database.

When specifying the SQL Server and the database to store the log data, ensure that the account under which Password Manager will access the server has the appropriate permissions to create and write to a database on the server.

When connecting to a report server for the first time, Password Manager publishes the reports included with the solution to the server, and populates the list of reports on the Administration site. Before connecting to a report server, ensure that the account under which Password Manager will access the server has the appropriate permissions to publish the Password Manager reports. The administrative rights on the report server will be sufficient for this account to publish reports.

To configure Password Manager reports

  1. On the home page of the Password Manager Administration site, click Reporting.
  2. On the Statistics page, click the Reports link under the Reporting and User Action History title.
  3. On the Reports page, click Configure SQL Server and Report Server.
