In Solarwinds Web Helpdesk 12.4.2.36 is there a way to run a report or view a log that shows what clients have logged into the client portal?
I am not aware of a report in WHD, but we run this SQL against the DB each month to see what clients are using the portal to create tickets (vs, the tech created or e-mail created tickets).
SELECT
CASE
WHEN JT.CLIENT_CREATOR_ID = JT.CLIENT_ID AND JT.IP_ADDRESS <> '' THEN 'Y'
ELSE 'N'
END As 'WEBPORTALCREATED',
JT.JOB_TICKET_ID AS 'TICKET NUMBER',
LT.LOCATION_NAME as 'LOCATION',
CONVERT (VARCHAR(80),JT.QUESTION_TEXT) AS 'TICKET REQUEST',
CONVERT(VARCHAR(19),JT.REPORT_DATE) AS 'DATE OPENED',
JT.ASSIGNED_TECH_ID AS 'TECH ID',
TECH.USER_NAME AS 'TECH USER ID',
TECH.FIRST_NAME + ' ' + tech.LAST_NAME AS 'TECH NAME',
TG.NAME AS 'TECH GROUP',
JT.CLIENT_CREATOR_ID,
JT.CLIENT_ID,
CT.USER_NAME AS 'REQUESTER USER NAME',
CT.FIRST_NAME + ' ' + CT.LAST_NAME AS 'REQUESTER NAME',
CT.EMAIL AS 'CLIENT EMAIL',
ST.STATUS_TYPE_NAME AS 'STATUS',
PT.PRIORITY_TYPE_NAME AS 'PRIORITY'
FROM JOB_TICKET "JT"
INNER join TECH
ON JT.ASSIGNED_TECH_ID = TECH.CLIENT_ID
INNER JOIN PRIORITY_TYPE "PT"
ON JT.PRIORITY_TYPE_ID = PT.PRIORITY_TYPE_ID
INNER JOIN STATUS_TYPE "ST"
ON JT.STATUS_TYPE_ID = ST.STATUS_TYPE_ID
INNER JOIN TECH_GROUP_LEVEL "TGL"
ON JT.TECH_GROUP_LEVEL_ID = TGL.ID
INNER JOIN TECH_GROUP "TG"
ON TGL.TECH_GROUP_ID = TG.ID
INNER Join LOCATION "LT"
ON JT.LOCATION_ID = LT.location_ID
INNER Join CLIENT CT
ON JT.CLIENT_ID = CT.CLIENT_ID
WHERE JT.REPORT_DATE LIKE 'Aug% 2016%'
How Tickets are created:
I use a set of action rules to record in a read only custom field the creation method of tickets, either Client Email/Tech Interface/Client Interface. Then I can query or report internally within the WHD without the need to run SQL queries.
I also record if the email was a group email address or personal email address.
To view Clients who have last access the system (maybe useful):
Go the clients, under basic, search for your users, then sort by Last Activity.
