Summary

This chart provides key information about the total number of items, from different review actions.  The chart uses data found in: avuser.PV_TELEMETRY_DATA. This means the data is always 1 day behind.

The goal of this chart is to understand the results from all reviews completed. 

The chart can be used by admins to understand the total risk reduction provided by RSA IGL (with items revoked)

Details

This chart displays the total number of items from review actions. 

• Total completed is the overall number of items reviewed 
• Total Revoked is the total number of items that were set to "revoke"
• Total "Non-Revoked" is the total number for everything else, this could be either "maintained" or any other review option you have included. 

As this chart uses the telemetry data found within v7.2x, some of the historical data trends wont be available, if you have upgraded from an older RSA IGL version. 

Optional Changes to Dynamic Chart Values

This is how you can configure the chart, so it is useful for how you wish to view the data 

• GROUPING: This allows you to group the data and display it based on the following date ranges. For example, you might want to show the data grouped per week, per quarter or per day. This will be up to you and your business needs. 
  For this chart, the recommendation is to use 'Monthly'

  You MUST ensure you use a single quote ', either side of the value, for this to work properly in the RSA IGL Chart UI.
  However, when testing this in SQL Developer, the single quote ' is NOT required.

  Please copy and paste these values exactly as shown below to change the chart:
  • 'Daily'
  • 'Weekly'
  • 'Monthly'
  • 'Quarterly'
  • 'Yearly'

• TotalDataPoints: This is how many results you want to display. It is a number and doesn't need any quotes. If you set this value to be 7, it would show 7 results. For example if you set "Grouping" to be 'Monthly' then you might want to set "TotalDataPoints" = 6, showing you the results for the past 6 months. 
  For this chart, the recommendation is to use 12, however it will depending on the screen size you have and how this looks.

We strongly recommend you do not specify too many values for "TotalDataPoints" otherwise it will not display well

Chart SQL

First test this in your query tool (SQLDeveloper, Toad etc..)

Example of the results:

Chart Implementation

1. Log into RSA IGL as a user who can create charts. In my example, im using AveksaAdmin
2. Go to "Reports" / "Charts"
3. Select "+ Create Chart" button
   
4. Under the "General Tab" add the following details:
   • Name: Telemetry Chart - Completed Review Items
   • Description: From RSA IGL Link Community. This chart provides information on the the total number of review actions within the environment. This chart uses data from avuser.PV_TELEMETRY_DATA which is collected nightly, so the data is always 1 day behind.
   • Type = Multiple Series Chart
     
      
5. Under the "Query" Tab, copy the SQL from above
6. Update the 2 dynamic values as noted above, recommendation:
   Grouping: 'Monthly'
   TotalDataPoints: 12
7. Press the "Preview" button, you should see some results, as per the example image below.

   If you get an error at this stage, please test your SQL in a Query tool, like "SQL Developer" or "SQL Squirrel" to ensure it works first. 
   If it still doesn't work, please share your SQL and a screen shot of the issue below. DO NOT contact RSA Support 

   
    
8. Under the "Columns" Tab, please use the configuration shown in the image below.
   Notes: 
   - You can update the display name if you need
   - You can also manually specify a colour for each value if you require
   
    
9. Under the "Display Attributes" tab, you should select "MS Line". Please also apply these settings, however you can update the wording with what is best for you.
   • Under "Title and Axis Names"
     • Caption: Completed Review Items
     • X Axis Name: Date
     • Y Axis Name: Total
       
   • Under "Functional attributes"
     • Select "Animation" = ticked
     • Select "Show Labels"  = ticked

There are MANY other "display attributes" you can play with on this screen, so please update and make changes as you see fit.
