Creating custom reports

You can use the IBM® Cognos® Workspace Advanced to create the custom audit reports.

Procedure

  1. In the IBM Cognos Workspace, insert the common query items from the LDAP Audit query subject.
  2. Based on the event types, insert more query items from the event-specific query subjects.
    For example, to create a custom audit report for LDAP Compare operations, you can insert the following query items:
    • Audit Version
    • Audit Timestamp
    • Event Type
    • Bind DN
    • Client IP
    • Operation Response Time
    Now, all the audit events that are available in the audit database would be displayed.
  3. Add a custom filter.
    For example, you can add a custom filter on Event Type to include just the Compare events.
    Now, only the events that are related to LDAP Compare operations would be displayed.
  4. Insert any more query items that you require from the event-specific query subject, for example, Audit Compare.
  5. Save the report in the format that you require.
