Reporting LBI Statistics

You can do this using the 4 events in Reporting Services. It will require server side programming so its no easy task. Using any OOP web language (ASP.NET, JAVA, PHP, etc) you can capture all the info you need. There is actually a pretty good example of capturing a report request in the Reporting Services User Guide, Chapter 6 "Events and parameter pages"

Hi Matt,

I need this as well. We've had instances where a report that had sensitive information in a way, that the user who logs in could see only the information that pertains to him or her, and the report that had to be bursting enabled was turned off. This report was present on the dashboard for a day without bursting turned on and any user who logged in could see all of the information in the report.

During this time, we wanted to find out who went to the dashboards and downloaded this report. Presently there is no means to get this information from LBI except going through what you describe as writing a script for enabling reporting events.

Looking at the example on chapter 6 and since I am not a programmer looks greek to me.

Is this simple enough to recreate or would we need specifically a programmer to accomplish this ?

Thanks for pointing this out,

Ruma.

 

 

Actually, that sample isnt showing Events in the way that jellis or you would like to use it. It just shows using a custom parameter page which is then placed in URL for the first event. You would probably need a more complex version. Capturing the Parameter Selection, Parameter Validation and Report Request Complete events is far more complicated than Report Request Received. This type of customization would require a programmer.
