Hi Francesco, Thanks for the reply.
What I understand from your reply is that I can create reports using the reportlets, that I have to implement myself. What I basically get by implementing a reportlet is some sort of client. This client retrieves data from the syncope database, and transforms this data into html or pdf. Hope my understanding is correct. What I would like to have is some sort of event handling system in syncope, that provides the event data to, for instance, a database table, or to a publish subscribe queue. Can you give me some advise how to implement this? Do you think an approach like this will be available in the future in syncope? The main goal here is to provide the information to other users than syncope itself.
