NOTE:
Creating report subchapters from search queries is currently an experimental feature of One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS), therefore One Identity recommends that only administrators use this feature and only at their own risk. |
You can turn any search query or statistics into a subchapter to add to your reports. This is an easy and flexible way of creating reports to monitor traffic, track certain parameters, or get alerted about particular events. The Search interface allows you to:

To create a search-based report subchapter from search results
Set the number of sessions to show in the report as required.
Select a Statistic presentation for your report, such as Pie chart, List, Bar chart. Select the field (the metadata) to create your statistics on.
When adding the subchapter you created, look for it under Search-based subchapters.

If you have multiple SPS appliances and they are organized into a cluster where one of the nodes is the Search Master (or Central Search) node, log in to that node.

To create statistics from any custom queries from the
Navigate to the Reporting > Advanced statistics page and click .
Enter a name for the statistics. The created statistics will be available for reports under this name as a subchapter.
Enter the SQL query that returns the data you need into the Query field. Note the following important points:
The query must be a full PostgreSQL query.
SQL queries used for pie and bar charts must return a title and a cnt column, in this order. For example:
select remote_username as title, count(*) as cnt from channels group by title
The query can be executed on the database tables and views that contain metadata about the audited connections, as well as the content of the audited connections (for example, the commands executed in a session) if indexing is used. Note that these tables do not contain any data from the upstream traffic, that is, passwords entered by the users are not available in the database.
Limit the query to avoid unnecessarily long results, for example, LIMIT = 5000. Note that SPS automatically limits the results to 10000 entries (this is a hard limit, you cannot increase it).

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. |
The structure of the accessible tables may change in future versions of SPS. For details about the tables and their contents, see Database tables available for custom queries.
The query can include the following macros: :range_start, :range_end. When including the statistics in a report, these macros will refer to the beginning and end dates of the reported interval. When clicking Preview, the macros will refer to the start and end of the current day.
The following query generates a list of audit trail downloads within the reported interval (using standard date formatting), excluding administrator downloads:
select to_timestamp(audit_trail_downloads.download_time), audit_trail_downloads.username, channels.channel_type, channels.connection, from audit_trail_downloads, channels where channels._connection_channel_id = audit_trail_downloads.id and audit_trail_downloads.download_time >= :range_start and audit_trail_downloads.download_time < :range_end and audit_trail_downloads.username != 'admin' order by audit_trail_downloads.download_time;

Select the type of chart to display, that is, Bar, Pie or List.
For bar charts, enter the name of the Y axis into the Y axis title field.
For lists, you can customize the name of the columns in the list by clicking and entering the name of the column into the Column titles field.
Click Preview to test the query.
(Optional) By default, users of the search group can add these statistics to reports. To specify other groups, select Subchapter is accessible by the following groups and click .

Accessing advanced statistics subchapters requires the Reporting > Advanced statistics privilege. |
