The channels table

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

Table 15: Columns of the channels table
Column Type Description
application text

Application: The name of the application accessed in a seamless Citrix ICA connection.

_archive_date date

Archive date: The date when the connection was archived or cleaned up.

Archive server: The hostname or IP address of the remote server where the audit trail was archived.

audit text

Audit-trail: Name and ID of the audit file storing the traffic of the channel. If the session has an audit trail, a icon is displayed. Note that a the following letters may appear on the download icon:

auth_method text

Authentication method: The authentication method used in the connection. For example, password

channel_policy text

Channel policy: The Channel policy applied to connection. The Channel policy lists the channels (for example, terminal session and SCP in SSH, or Drawing and Clipboard in RDP) that can be used in the connection, and also determines if the channel is audited or not. The Channel policy can also restrict access to each channel based on the IP address of the client or the server, a user list, user group, or a time policy.

channel_type text

Channel type: Type of the channel.

client_x509_subject text

Client X.509 Subject: The client's certificate in TELNET or VNC sessions. Available only if the Client-side transport security settings > Peer certificate validation option is enabled in SPS.

_close_cleanup boolean
command_extracted boolean

The value is true if the window title and the command has been extracted real-time (during alerting) so that the indexer service does not have to extract them again. It is false if they will be extracted only during indexing.

_connection_channel_id integer

Unique connection ID: The unique identifier of the connection.

connection_id text

Connection policy ID: The identifier of the connection policy.

connection text

Connection policy: The connection policy that handled the client's connection request.

device_name text

Device name: The name or ID of the shared device (redirect) used in the RDP connection.

dst_ip text

Destination IP: The IP address of the server as requested by the client.

dst_port integer

Destination port: The port number of the server as requested by the client.

dynamic_channel text

Dynamic channel: The name or ID of the dynamic channel opened in the RDP session.

exec_cmd text

Exec command: The command executed in a Session exec channel.

four_eyes_authorizer text

Four-eyes authorizer: The username of the user who authorized the session. Available only if 4-eyes authorization is required for the channel. For details on 4-eyes authorization, see Configuring four-eyes authorization.

four_eyes_description text

Four-eyes description: The description submitted by the authorizer of the session.

id integer The unique ID of the channel.
index_status integer

Channel's indexing status: Shows if the channel has been indexed. The following values are possible:

  • CHANNEL_OPEN (0): The connection of the channel is still open (indexer is waiting for the connection to close).

  • NOT_INDEXED (1): All channels of the connection have been closed which belong to the connection. The channel is ready for indexing, unless the audit trail was placed in the skipped_connections queue.

  • INDEXING_IN_PROGRESS (2): The channel is being indexed (indexing in progress). Note that SPS will return search results for the parts of the channel are already indexed.

  • INDEXED (3): Indexing the channel is complete.

  • INDEXING_NOT_REQUIRED (4): Indexing not required (indexing is not enabled for the connection).

  • INDEXING_FAILED (5): Indexing failed. The indexer service writes the corresponding error message in the error_message column of the indexer_jobs table. Note that SPS will return search results for the parts of the channel that were successfully indexed before the error occurred. For example, if the error occurred at the end of a long audit trail, you can still search for content from the first part of the audit trail.

  • NO_TRAIL (6): Auditing is not enabled for the channel.

protocol text

Protocol: The protocol used in the connection (Citrix ICA, HTTP, RDP, SSH, Telnet, or VNC).

remote_username text

Username on server: The username used to log in to the remote server. This username can differ from the client-side username if usermapping is used in the connection. For details on usermapping, see Configuring usermapping policies.

rule_num text

Rule number: The number of the line in the Channel policy applied to the channel.

scp_path text

SCP path: Name and path of the file copied via SCP. Available only for SCP sessions (Session exec SCP SSH channels) if the Log file transfers to database option is enabled in the Channel Policy of the connection.

server_ip text

Server IP: The IP address of the server connected by SPS.

server_port integer

Server port: The port number of the server connected by SPS.

session_end integer

End time: Date when the channel was closed.

session_id text

Session ID:

A globally unique string that identifies the session. This session ID has the following format: svc/<unique-random-hash>/<name-of-the-connection-policy>:<session-number-since-service-started>/<protocol>, for example, svc/5tmEaM7xdNi1oscgVWpbZx/ssh_console:1/ssh.

Log messages related to the session also contain this ID. For example:

The closed_connection_audit_channels view

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

This view returns all audited channels whose connection have been closed. The view is defined as follows:

create view closed_connection_audit_channels
as
select *
from channels
where audit is not null
and index_status = 1;

For details on the returned columns, see The channels table.

The closed_not_indexed_audit_channels view

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

This view returns all audited channels whose connection have been closed, but have not been indexed yet. The view is defined as follows:

create view closed_not_indexed_audit_channels
as
select *
from channels
where audit is not null
and (index_status = 1
or index_status = 2);

For details on the returned columns, see The channels table.

The connection_events view

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

For terminal connections, this view collects the commands issued in a connection. For graphical connections, this view collects the window titles detected in the connection. The view is defined as follows:

select
    channels._connection_channel_id as id,
    events.event,  
    events.printable
from channels,  
    events
where channels.id = events.channel_id;

Querying the table (for example, select * from connection_events limit 10;) will return results similar to the following:

 id |                                         event             | printable
----+-------------------------------------------------------------+-----------
1  | [user@exampleserver ~]$ ls                                  | t
1  | [user@exampleserver ~]$ exit                                | t
2  | [user@exampleserver ~]$ su -                                | t
2  | Password:                                                   | t
2  | [root@exampleserver ~]#                                     | t
2  | [root@exampleserver ~]# ifconfig                            | t
2  | [root@exampleserver ~]# ifconfig                            | t
2  | [root@exampleserver ~]# ifconfig                            | t
4  | [user@exampleserver ~]$                                     | t
4  | [user@exampleserver ~]$                                     | t

The connection_events view has the following columns.

Table 16: Columns of the connection_events table
