Creating statistics from custom database queries

The following describes how to create statistics from any custom queries from the One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) connection database. These custom statistics can be added to regular reports.

Caution:

Hazard of denial of service (DoS). This feature of SPS allows the user to execute read-only queries on the database of SPS. If the database is large (stores the data of many connections), and the query is not optimal, executing the query can consume significant CPU and memory resources, severely degrading the performance of SPS. Use this feature only if you possess the required knowledge about SQL queries.

To create statistics from any custom queries from the SPS connection database

  1. Navigate to the Reporting > Advanced statistics page and click .

  2. Enter a name for the statistics. The created statistics will be available for reports under this name as a subchapter.

  3. 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.

    Example

    The following query generates a list of audit trail downloads within the reported interval (using standard date formatting), excluding administrator downloads:

    Example

    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;

    Figure 269: Reporting > Advanced statistics — Creating custom database queries

  4. 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.

  5. Click Preview to test the query.

  6. (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 .

    NOTE:

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

  7. Click Commit to save the query.

  8. Add this new subchapter to a report. For details on how to add this subchapter to a selected report, see Configuring custom reports

Database tables available for custom queries

This section describes the database tables, views, and functions of One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) that can be used in the custom queries of the Reporting > Advanced statistics page. Generally, views contain a more organized dataset, while tables contain the raw data.

NOTE:

The structure of these database tables may change in future One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) versions.

Table 13: Database tables and views for custom queries

occurrences table Contains the tokens that are used as search keywords in Content subchapter reports (reports from audit-trail content) and where these tokens appear in the audit trails. For details, see The occurrences table.
progresses table [OBSOLETE] Which audit trail is assigned to which Audit Player for processing. For details, see The progresses table.
results table Contains the tokens that are used as search keywords in Content subchapter reports (reports from audit-trail content) and in which audit trails were these tokens found. For details, see The results table.
skipped_connections table List of errors encountered when processing audit trails. For details, see The skipped_connections table.
usermapped_channels view Information about sessions where usermapping was performed in the connection. For details, see The usermapped_channels view.

To search the content of audit trails that were processed using indexing, you can use the lucene SQL function. For details, see Querying trail content with the lucene-search function.
