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. | |
Examples:
Create a bar chart with a custom title for the y-axis:
"chart": {
"type": "bar",
"y_axis_title": "Y_axis"
}
Create a pie chart:
"chart": {
"type": "pie"
}
Create a list with custom column names:
"chart": {
"column_titles": [
"col1",
"col2"
],
"type": "list"
}

health_status |
|
null or object |

floating point number |
Hard disk usage (percent) |
|

|
system_details |
JSON object |
Various details about the CPU, disk, memory and swap usage of the appliance. Note that the exact set of metrics is determined by the underlying kernel and system libraries, therefore it might change between different versions of Safeguard for Privileged Sessions without notice. |
|
pipeline-queues |
JSON object |
Represents the fullness of the processing pipelines in percentages. |
The number of CPUs determine the load a system can handle without causing the processes having to wait. As a generic rule of thumb, if the load is less than the number of processor cores of the appliance, the overall system load can be considered normal, otherwise it might be an indication of performance issues.
