Fields (to retrieve data from)

In this section you define all fields you want to place on your report based on the index you have defined above.

Just enter the field names in the order you want to see the fields on the report. Use the arrow up/down to move the fields.

To find the valid attribute names for the different indexes you can use following methods:

To brows thru audit indexes to find out the valid attribute names you can either use:

  • use the Audit Dashboard
  • search thru the audit index using the elasticsearch browser based URL interface

Browse audit-default index with Elasticsearch URL interface

You can also look into audit-default indexes using browser URLs. e.g. to look into the audit-default-2022.05.10 index enter the following command depending on your serves IP or URL and port:

https://<server URL or IP>:<port>/elasticsearch/audit-default-2022.05.10/_search?pretty

The result will look similar to the screen below. Each entry begins with "_index" and the name of the index. Attributes will start after "_source" and are marked red.

https://<server URL or IP>:<port>/elasticsearch/report-default-2022.04.12/_search?pretty&q=cn:afuhrmann

The result will look similar to the screen below. Each entry begins with "_index" and the name of the index. Attributes will start after "_source" and are marked red.

The report will show the appropriate column header.
