      Learn how to connect the Activity and Data Security Dashboards to your DLP log database in Power BI

      Information in this article applies to Safetica 10 or older.

      Before you can perform the activities mentioned below, you must integrate Safetica with a data analytics tool as described in this article.

      There are two report templates you can get from Safetica: the Activity Dashboard and the Data Security Dashboard. To use them in Power BI, you have to connect them to your Safetica database and populate them with data from your DLP logs.

      You can download our report templates here.

      In this article, you will learn:

      1. How to connect report templates to Safetica 10 database in Power BI
      2. How to update invalid credentials in Power BI
      3. How to change time range for loaded logs in Power BI

      How to connect report templates to Safetica database in Power BI

      How to update invalid account credentials in Power BI

      Your account user name and password are stored in Power BI. If you change your password later, the connection to Safetica database will stop working (i.e. the old password will become invalid). To solve this issue and update your credentials:

      1. Click File > Options and settings > Data source settings.
      2. Choose the relevant database connection and click Clear Permissions. The stored credentials will be deleted.
      3. Click Refresh in the upper part of the screen and enter your new credentials.

       

      How to change time range for loaded logs in Power BI

      By default, only the most recent logs from your Safetica database are loaded into Power BI – the time range is set to the last 30 days.

      To change the time range:

      1. Click Transform data in the upper part of the screen.
      2. On the right, in the Applied steps section, click the icon next to Filtered Rows.
      3. Change the time range as desired and click OK.
