logged in user not showing in 'Logged in users' list?

[georgechen]

Hi Community gurus,

Investigating ways to expired session user, I was wondering any reasons that a user who's logged in but not showing in 'Logged in users' list?

The user can be seen in User Tokens list (sys_user_token_list.do)

but not shows in the Logged In Users list (v_user_session_list.do)

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi! I have 2 questions about organizing the Logged in User (v_user_session) table:
1) why for one account there can be several records in this table (in my case about 5)? One of them is active, and the rest are not.
2) in fact, what is the meaning of the "activity" field? I understand that if a session is expired, then it should just disappear from the table?

I have the requirement to find out if certain users are logged into the system at any given time.  I have discovered that v_user_session only shows the users logged into a single node, the node that "I'm" logged into.  I see from the comments above that:

"As the applications run on each individual mode, and the nodes themselves do not communicate with one another, all the logged in users table shows you is the logged in users on the application node that you're on."

That was from 4 years ago and, very surprisingly, it still seems to be the case.  What is a good solution here? Does sys_user_tokens show logged in users from all nodes? If not, how can I find out if someone is logged in to any node at any given time?

Thanks.
