9.1 Defining the General Settings

The General Settings page allows you to define global settings that control the behavior of the Identity Reporting Module.

  1. Click Settings in the left navigation menu.

    The reporting module displays the General Settings page:

  2. To define the general settings:

    1. To specify how long completed reports should be retained, specify the unit of time (days, weeks, or months) and a number in the Delete reports after field.

    2. To specify how often data should be collected, specify the unit of time (days, weeks, or months) and a number in the Collect data every field. This value defines a schedule for data collection.

    3. To specify how long data should be retained, specify the unit of time (days, weeks, or months) and a number in the Keep data for field.

    4. To specify the preferred language that will be used for data collection, select the language in the Collect data in field. Generated reports will always show data in this language.

  3. To save your changes, click Save.

  4. To manage your data:

    1. Click Start Data Collection to collect data from all defined data sources immediately.

When the reporting module executes a data collection procedure, it stores all data collected in the Identity Information Warehouse. The data are stored in tables within the idm_rpt_data schema in the SIEM database. Some tables are not updated until the objects they contain are assigned to related objects. For example, the categories that are added to the DAL choice lists for roles and resources are not populated in the idmrpt_category table until they have been assigned to an object.
