How to trigger a custom event every time a user accesses ThingWorx

Hi Team,

 

Hope everyone is doing well.

 

I would like to know how will I throw my custom event each time a user logs in and logs off ThingWorx.

 

Thanks in Advance.

Hi @slangley 

 

Thank you for the response. The current implementation uses a scheduler that monitors the number of users logged in and compares with the users before in a particular interval. This implementation is working currently.

 

Thank You @BABA-SHYAM those events are very useful I had tried them but the problem was during logging out, there will be users who might not log off in the required manner.

Hi @SrijithKrish.

 

Are you referring to a user logging in to Composer or a mashup?  If you're referring to a mashup, you could design a service to run each time the user logs in.  Logging out would be more difficult since it requires a user to logout elegantly instead of just closing the browser.

 

Regards.

@slangley , main requirement is to keep track of all the users that are accessing Thingworx within a day (both via composer as well as mashup application), that is I would require to keep history of this data. Currently I am able to see how many people are using but not the history.

Is this requirement possible within ThingWorx?

Hi,

 

There is a security monitor thing (don't select template with same name) available in thingworx. There you will find a "LoginSucceeded" event under it. This event will work if your user is login by typing the credentials. There is another event available "ApplicationKeySucceeded " if user try to access thingworx using app key. Every time this event occur you can run a custom event.

Hi,

 

What is the role of those users? I don't think any such issue could happen while logging out the user. User logs out successfully right? Its only the trigger which doesn't run. Is it happen always? Did you try to debug the issue?

 

Regards
