PostgreSQL Reports

PostgreSQL reports are accessed through the Resource Audit interface. Explore the PostgreSQL resources by expanding the levels within the Resources pane and selecting the desired resource. The data within these reports is collected by the Access Analyzer PostgreSQL solution. See the PostgreSQL Solution topic in the Netwrix Access Analyzer Documentation for additional information.

A single PostgreSQL Server can have multiple instances. Each instance where data is collected has its own node in the Access Information Center. PostgreSQL reports fall into the following categories:

  • Permissions reports
  • Sensitive Data Content reports

The following report is available at the PostgreSQL node:

ReportDescription
Permissions ReportShows the permissions for the trustee on the selected resource.
Sensitive Content ReportProvides a list of tables and a hit count per table where criteria matches were found on the selected resource. This report includes a table with criteria matches visible to Access Information Center users with either Security Team Member or Administrator roles.
