Creating a report using the "LDAP Connection Failure" report template

To create a report based on LDAP connection failures you will need to use the context menu option "Create" for the report template "LDAP Connection Failure Report" (highlighted template above).

Using the "Condition Builder" tool to filter reported records

If no conditions are specified, then the report will list details of all LDAP connection failures, but additional conditions can be added that filter which records are included in the report.

Condition filters are added using the "Condition Builder" tool that is used to construct the Query Statement and is employed using the icon.

Filters may be applied based on any of the following fields;

This report template only allows you to specify; a date for which the report will list LDAP connection failures as a filter (either for that specific date, or before, or after that date);

For this simple report we will specify all LDAP connection failures after the specified date





After the report has been saved and run, we will find that the exported report shows all LDAP connection failures after the specified date.
