# ABS detailed reporting

ABS Engine's REST API interface provides access to a range of JSON reports on attacks, metrics, and anomalies. To view these reports, Ping Identity provides templates which can be loaded into Postman to simplify viewing of the JSON reports.

## **Install and Configure Postman Software**

1. [Download](https://www.getpostman.com/) and install the Postman application 6.2.5 or higher.

2. [Download](https://download.elasticbeam.com/) "API Reports Using Postman Collection" from the Automated Docker PoC Installation section of the download site. `ABS_5.0_Environment` and `ABS_5.0_Reports` are files for Postman.

3. Launch the Postman application. Make sure to disable SSL verification in Postman. For more information, see [Using self-signed certificate with Postman](../abs_ai_engine/pingintelligence_abs_self_signed_certificate_postman.html)

4. Import the downloaded reports files by clicking the **Import** button

Other reports which can be generated for a specified time-frame (make sure you specify a time range which covers the time that you ran the attack scripts) include:

* Metrics – shows all activity on the specified API

* Attacks (set Type=0) – shows a list of all attack categories and client identifiers (for example, token, IP address, cookie) associated with the attack

* Backend Errors – shows activity which generated the errors

* IP Forensic Info - set the IP address to an attacker identified in the Attacks report– shows all API activity for the specified IP

* Token Forensic Info - set the Token address to an attacker identified in the Attacks report - shows all API activity for the specified token
