you will want the force and displacement. if the lateral loads are in s linear time series, a node recorder with the -time (to obtain load factor) and recorded displacements will be enough.
you can also obtain lateral forces using a nodal recorder (reaction) or element recorders. you could also use both to verify the latareal forces are in agreement.
