Indexing is a resource intensive (CPU and hard disk) operation, and depending on the number of processed audit trails and parallel connections passing SPS, may affect the performance of SPS. Test it thoroughly before enabling it in a production environment that is under heavy load. If your SPS appliance cannot handle the connections and the indexing, consider using external indexers (see "Configuring external indexers" in the Administration Guide) to decrease the load on SPS. For sizing recommendations, ask your One Identity partner or contact our Support Team.
|
NOTE:
Only those audit trails will be processed that were created after full-text indexing had been configured for the connection policy. It is not possible to process already existing audit trails. |
|
NOTE:
Using content policies significantly slows down connections (approximately 5 times slower), and can also cause performance problems when using the indexer service. |

Element | Type | Description | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
key | string | Top level element, contains the ID of the endpoint. | ||
body | Top level element (string) | Contains the configuration options of the indexer service. | ||
decryption_keys | list | Indexing encrypted audit trails requires the X.509 certificates and the matching private keys. The certificates must in PEM format, and use RSA keys. This parameter lists the reference IDs of the configured decryption keys. When configuring the indexer, you must first upload the keys before you can configure the decryption keys. For details, see Private keys stored on SPS. | ||
key | reference | The ID of the referenced decryption key. You can upload private keys at the /api/configuration/private_key endpoint. For details, see Private keys stored on SPS. | ||
number_of_near_realtime_workers | integer |
The number of indexer workers configured to perform near-realtime indexing. For details, see "Configuring the external indexer" in the Administration Guide. | ||
number_of_workers | integer |
This option determines the maximum number of parallel indexing tasks that the SPS appliance performs. The default value is set to the number of detected CPU cores. Note that indexing audit trails requires about 50-100 Mbytes of memory for terminal sessions (SSH, Telnet, TN3270), and 150-300 Mbytes for graphical sessions (RDP, ICA, VNC, X11). Consider the memory usage of your SPS host before modifying this value. | ||
remote_access | JSON object | Enables external indexers to access the SPS host, and configures access restrictions and other parameters. | ||
selection | string | The value of this option must be integrated. |
Element | Type | Description | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
access_restriction |
JSON object |
Enables and configures limitations on the clients that can access the web interface, based on the IP address of the clients. | ||||
allowed_from |
list |
The list of IP networks from where the administrators are permitted to access this management interface. To specify the IP addresses or networks, use the IPv4-Address/prefix format, for example, 10.40.0.0/16. | ||||
enabled |
boolean |
Set it to true to restrict access to the specified client addresses. | ||||
enabled | boolean |
Enables the remote access for the external indexers. That way, indexer services running on external hosts can access the audit trails, index them, and upload the indexed data to SPS. If this option is set to False, SPS ignores every other option of this object. For details on installing and configuring external indexers, see "Configuring external indexers" in the Administration Guide.
| ||||
listen | list | Selects the network interface, IP address, and port where the clients can access the web interface. | ||||

For example, if querying the interface /api/configuration/network/nics/nic1#interfaces/ff7574025754b3df1647001/addresses/ returns the following response: { "body": { "interfaces": { "@order": [ "ff7574025754b3df1647001" ], "ff7574025754b3df1647001": { "addresses": { "1": "10.40.255.171/24", "@order": [ "1" ] }, "name": "default", "vlantag": 0 } }, "name": "eth0", "speed": "auto" }, "key": "nic1", "meta": { "first": "/api/configuration/network/nics/nic1", "href": "/api/configuration/network/nics/nic1", "last": "/api/configuration/network/nics/nic3", "next": "/api/configuration/network/nics/nic2", "parent": "/api/configuration/network/nics", "previous": null, "transaction": "/api/transaction" } } Then the listening address of the local service is the following. nic1.interfaces.ff7574025754b3df1647001.addresses.1 This is the format you have to use when configuring the address of the local service using REST: "address": "nic1.interfaces.ff7574025754b3df1647001.addresses.1" When querying a local services endpoint, the response will contain a reference to the IP address of the interface in the following format: "address": { "key": "nic1.interfaces.ff7574025754b3df1647001.addresses.1", "meta": { "href": "/api/configuration/network/nics/nic1#interfaces/ff7574025754b3df1647001/addresses/1" } }, | ||||
port | integer |
The port number where this local service accepts connections. | ||||
ssl_config | JSON object | Contains references to the certificates used to encrypt the communication between SPS and the external indexer hosts. SPS generates these certificates automatically when you enable the indexer service. | ||||
ca | reference | The ID of the CA certificate used to sign the certificates used to communicate between SPS and the external indexers. | ||||
service | reference | The ID of the certificate that SPS shows to the external indexer hosts. | ||||
worker | reference | The ID of the certificate that the external indexer hosts must show to SPS. |

Indexer policies allow you to configure the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engine of SPS, and specify which languages it should use. Only graphical protocols (RDP, Citrix ICA, VNC) are affected.
If you specify the languages manually, note the following:
Specifying only one language provides the best results in terms of performance and precision.
The English language is always detected along with the non-English languages that you have configured. However, if you want the OCR to only recognize the English language, you have to select it from the list of languages.
There are certain limitations in the OCR engine when recognizing languages with very different character sets. For this reason, consider the following:
When selecting Asian languages (Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean), avoid adding languages that use the Latin alphabet.
When selecting the Arabic language, avoid selecting any other languages.
The Thai language is currently not supported. If you are interested in using SPS to index Thai texts, contact our Sales Team.
