Question

Users Audit

Hi @,



Our customers is asking us to audit some stuff about users like :



- How many users concurrent users are connected during the day

- What user never logged in ( AD users via IE connector )



Where can I find this ? Is there any way to automate those kind of tasks ?



Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Cheers!

As WCADMIN, you can run a Security audit report, and select login/logout as the events. This will give you concurrent user information:

You can also edit your <windchill>\codebose\registry\auditing\configAudit.xml file to turn on/off some OOTB auditing rules.

OTB, configAudit.xml is set to record only:

- Login

- Two other events: "Logout" (no activity after allotted time) and "Context Login" (access a certain Product / Library, etc.)

wt.session.SessionUserAuditEvent/login

This info is stored in the database AUDITRECORD table

From Site, Utilities, Security Audit Reporting, this info is available to query and report on- but only if you have not purged the records using the Audit Log Purge Manager function (purging removes (and optionally stores in a zip file) all records for a time period).

It's also possible to query the database directly - which allows this to be scripted and automated. One sample:

If it's desired to see exactly when a user logged on, one can manipulate the date output to include Hours, Minutes, Seconds.

Note that this also lends itself to analysis (possibly in Excel) to determine the number of concurrent users over time - no other way that we're aware of.
