Introduction
NetIQ Users Report
Hello. In this video we’re going to show you how to use ACDI reports to audit and monitor data and events in your directory.
Let's start from beginning. By default, ACDI contains a list of predefined default reports that are used to create tables with statistical data or to audit upcoming events.
Reports may be searched either by text or by name.
Let's start with the simplest report: NetIQ Users Report.
This report is based on the snapshot data stored in a system.
Every day or by using Cron, the Snapshot Service takes a snapshot of your eDirectory or Active Directory and stores the state of objects in Opensearch so that you can parse through it using ACDI.
The NetIQ Users Report contains only one entity, which is based on those snapshots—report default.
On the Report graph you can see this entity, its filters, and result attributes will get in the final report.
As for filters, Result Table Attributes, and Postprocessing, we’ll be coming back to these options of report editing in upcoming videos. Now, let's go back to the report.
This report will allow you to create reports and to see the current states of your user objects in the selected period of time.
Let’s assume you want to set it for a snapshot from the previous week. You can use here either absolute or relative date pickers.
Let’s choose “7 days ago.” And you also want to see values for the user with surname “Strand.”
Ok. The user is found, and you can use other filters here and narrow down the search results. Let's click “Run.”
