Chapter 7: Using the SafeWord 2008 Management Console
Reporting
172
For example, assume you have created a report template called
all-logs.tpl
that fetches all available audit log data in the SafeWord database and you wish
to store this data in an Excel worksheet file called
all-logs.xls
.
From the
Windows
command line, you might use:
report.bat templates\all-
logs.tpl reports\all-logs.xls mypassword.
Exporting data into Excel worksheets
An additional method exists for exporting data into Excel spreadsheets. The
dialogs that appear when you choose categories from the
Find
menu have a
button called
Export
. Choosing this button causes the Console to export the
search results data directly into an Excel spreadsheet. You can export any
SafeWord data including audit logs, admin group data, user data, login and
data, roles, profiles, tokens, and sessions data.
When you select the
Export
button, SafeWord prompts you to name the Excel
worksheet file it will create. All data resulting from your search is written directly
to the new worksheet file.
Note:
If you are running the Console on a Windows platform that also has
Microsoft Excel installed on it, the Console automatically provides you with the
option to view your new report in Excel once it is created.
