Hello all,
I’m working on setting up a Data Extract of AuditEvents. I’d like to ask if it’s possible (and how) to extract the data into a CSV file on a server (either SP host or shared drive). I could not find the information within the official documentation.
The above YAML configuration seems to work - I still need to add some filtering, but first I’d like to get it to a specific place.
Log in to IdentityIQ: Access your IdentityIQ administrative console.
Navigate to Report Creation:
Go to Setup (or “Global Settings” in older versions).
Click on Tasks.
On the Tasks page, you’ll see a list of existing tasks. Look for a button or link to “New Task” or “New Report”. Click that.
Choose Report Type:
From the “Task Type” dropdown, select “Report”.
You’ll then need to choose a “Report Template”. For audit events, the most relevant template is usually “AuditEvent Report”. Select this.
Configure Report Details:
Name: Give your report a meaningful name (e.g., “Daily Audit Events Export”).
Description: Briefly explain what the report does.
Report Parameters (Crucial for what you extract):
Selection Criteria: This is where you define which audit events you want.
Date Range: Specify a start and end date/time (e.g., “Last 24 Hours”, “Specific Date Range”). This is vital to avoid extracting millions of events every time.
Event Types: You can filter for specific events (e.g., “Login”, “PasswordChange”, “IdentityModified”, “AccessRequestApproved”). If left blank, it will include all.
Actor/Target: Filter by who performed the action or on what object the action was performed.
Columns: Choose which pieces of information from each audit event you want in your CSV. Common choices include: ID, Created Date, Event Name, Action, Target Name, Target Type, Actor Name, Actor Type, Application, Result, Comments.
Output Options :
Output Type: Select “CSV”.
File Path: This is where you tell IdentityIQ to save the CSV file.
If on the IIQ Host Server: Provide a full path like /opt/sailpoint/identityiq/data/audit_exports/audit_events.csv (for Linux) or C:\SailPoint\IdentityIQ\data\audit_exports\audit_events.csv (for Windows).
If on a Shared Drive: If your IIQ server has a network drive mapped or mounted, you can use that path directly (e.g., \\YourFileServer\ShareName\audit_exports\audit_events.csv for Windows shares, or /mnt/your_share/audit_exports/audit_events.csv for mounted Linux shares).
Save the Report: Click “Save” to store your report configuration.
Run or Schedule the Report:
Immediate Run: On the Report’s page, you can click “Execute” to run it right away for testing.
Scheduling: To automate this, go back to Setup > Tasks.
Find your newly created report task in the list.
Click on it to edit.
Go to the “Schedule” tab.
Set your desired schedule (e.g., “Daily”, “Weekly”, “Monthly”) and specify the time.
