Customized Report
Created: 26 Mar 2012 | 7 comments
Hi Guys,
As i am working on DLP and need to fetch differnt reports. but DLP gives detailed/full description in reports which sometime not required so every time u need to do formating on excel which takes time and chances of mistake . As ther is customize filter , Symantec should add on emore feature to customize report as per requirement.

Kishorilal,
There is a lot of ways to customize the reports that are created by the DLP product. If the reports that can be created in the Enforce I are not sufficient or contain too much information there are ways to create your own cutomized reports.
This can be done using the Reporting API. Since the information within the Enforce DB is encrypted for protetion there is a customizable reporting API that can be used to create your own reports and then use a Reporting Tool to create the reports that same way you would as if you were mining data on a typical DB.
There is detailed documentation on this in the "Symantec DLP 11.X Reporting API deverlopers Guide."
Please make sure to mark this comment as a solution to your problem, when possible.
The guide mentions a sample application and the instructions for implementing the API is not easy or straght forward. Is there anyone that has successfully implemented this feature? Your comments would be greatly appreciated.
Daniel,
I agree with this it is not straight forward, I have a client looking for daily reports on what user is how many tickets, tickets assigned to the group, the oldest, and avg close time...
I guess i am going to have buckle down and figure it out I am also going to look at the ITA analytics also for Altiris and see what that gets me

Funny you mention this, I have just been looking into the IT analytics program and will be exploring this further.
This was just released for DLP and may provide more insight into reporting.

IT Analytics on the SMP is the way to go. I've dug into this more recently and it looks to be the best solution right now for custom reporting.
I had a request today for 5-6 reports that i think the IT analytics would answer. they want to know the numberr of incidents closed by investigator, number of incidents per end user or machine and so forth.
