The names of fields are defined per superservice, in files like
service/email/email.xml and service/ftp/ftp.xml (these are the
locations in our CVS).

I assume you are writing a report for the ftp superservice.  Valid
fieldnames for this superservice are "time", "transfer_time",
"remote_host", "file_size", "filename", "transfer_type",
"special_action_flag", "direction", "access_mode", "username",
"service_name", "auth_method", "auth_user_id".

I don't really understand what you would like to get displayed in your
report.  Changing 'period' to 'transfer_time' might give you what you
want.  I hope this helps you; if not, please let me know.

BTW, I am very pleased to see you working on writing your own report
specifications.  Once your specification is stable, we would be very
happy to distribute it with our next Lire release.  Please let us know
wether you're interested in this.

O, and, please consider subscribing to development at logreport.org; that's
the list most suited for this and similar discussions.

Bye,

Joost
