Session Details

HI, what details are logged in SN for a user session (hostname, IP address) and where do these get stored?

I couldn't find these in the login item on the events table.   Is there somewhere else more session details are stored?

The syslog_transaction table, and there is the 'session' field. Others here may have more details on user login. I would download the application node log, and search there.

How do you download the application node log, not sure what that means.

log in to the instance with a suitable role, I log in as the System Administrator.  then navigate to System Logs -> Utilities -> Node Log file Download.

 

There is also on the Utilities the Node Log File Browser, where you can query based on several fields. Session ID is one.

 

The Download is a very large file, but many editors support that. I first search for the user id, find the session ID there, and then search based on that. Good Luck.

Here's the message content where I logged in to my PDI:

sys_action=sysverb_login
user_name=admin

 

It takes some experience to efficiently find what is desired in those logs. But you'll see the Session ID that you can search on.
