About querying access control events by insertion timestamp

Using AccessControlRawEventReportQuery in the platform SDK, you can query access control events by insertion timestamp, event type, position, and Access Manager role.

Requirements

Security Center 5.11.0.0 SDK or later.

How it works

In Security Center 5.11.0.0, the EventStream table was added to the Access Manager database to store event data so that events can be queried by insertion timestamp through the AccessControlRawEventReportQuery in the SDK. By default, events are not added to this table when they are added to the Access Manager database. You must manually enable the events to be inserted in the EventStream table by creating an advanced setting in Config Tool.

NOTE: The Access Manager database requires disk space for additional event data when this feature is enabled.

Samples

For an example of how to use the query, refer to the AccessControlRawEventQuerySample that is included in the standard SDK samples.
