SecurID® Governance & Lifecycle Recipes
SecurID Governance & Lifecycle recipes is a collection of items, to help you get the most out of your product deployment. For example, a useful report with the SQL to implement or a way to achieve some advanced rule processing.
RSA IGL Version: V 7.2.x
Modules: Governance

Summary
This chart provides key information about WF Nodes within your environment. 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 how the workflow are designed and being used.
The chart can be used by admins to understand if some workflows are growing too large and should maybe be redesigned.

Details
This chart displays the Maximum and Average size of workflow nodes.
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.Please copy and paste these values exactly as shown below to change the chart:
However, when testing this in SQL Developer, the single quote ' is NOT required.- '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 6, 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..)
(select tWFMax.starttime, tWFMax.value as "WF Node Maximum", tWFAvg.value as "WF Node Average" from ( SELECT TO_CHAR(Tdates.dates, DECODE(trim( :GROUPING ) , 'Daily', 'YYYY-Mon-DD', 'Weekly', 'YYYY - "Week "WW', 'Monthly', 'YYYY - Month', 'Quarterly',
'YYYY - "Q"Q', 'Yearly', 'YYYY')) StartTime, /* Use count(t1.value) to count the number of rows based on your filters Use max(t1.value) to get the maximum value on the specific date Use sum(t1.value) to get the collective total of values on the specific

Example of the results:
Chart Implementation
- Log into RSA IGL as a user who can create charts. In my example, im using AveksaAdmin
- Go to "Reports" / "Charts"
- Select "+ Create Chart" button
- Under the "General Tab" add the following details:
- Name: Telemetry Chart - WF Node Metrics
- Description: From RSA IGL Link Community. This chart provides information on the WF nodes. 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
- Under the "Query" Tab, copy the SQL from above
- Update the 2 dynamic values as noted above, recommendation:
Grouping: 'Monthly'
TotalDataPoints: 6 - 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 - 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 - 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: WF Node Metrics
- Sub Caption: Recommendation: Monitor any workflows with too many nodes and look to split these out if possible
- X Axis Name: Date
- Y Axis Name: Total
- Under "Functional attributes"
- Select "Animation" = ticked
- Select "Show Labels" = ticked
- Under "Title and Axis Names"
There are MANY other "display attributes" you can play with on this screen, so please update and make changes as you see fit.
Next Steps
- Please "hit reply" and share your feedback - we would love to see an image of this working in your environment!
