There are times I would like to know how many users or if a specific user is logged into SolarWinds. I would like to see a feature that would allow me to do this.
Agreed. I would like to be able to reach out to those users to notify them of impending server maintenance, upgrades, patches, etc. as well. By individually identifying them, to send them an email for example, or to broadcast a message to them or even better to individually message them, Thanks.
This would be particularly useful when using Active Directory Groups to be able to see individual users.
Seems like good idea!
Great idea, would be useful to keep track of who is logged in and when. eg. you want to check if a certain administrator is currently logged in and performing the tasks they are meant to.
Yes, it's quite useful, especially when dealing with NPM Server / DB Server performance issues.
I believe , it shouldn't cost lot of time for the developers to introduce it, it should be one SQL statement to display on the Dashboard corner
Definitely a value added feature if made available, we have been trying to find a way to connect user volume with front end performance
This would be very useful to see what teams are actually using the product.
You can get kinda close with this report, it will show who is logged in today. You can adjust the times as needed.
It's a great idea & will give documented support for the justification of a new AWS each time the load grows.
Voted. Created a SAM template to list current Solarwinds users. (https://thwack.solarwinds.com/docs/DOC-192290). But hope SW can give us native solution.
Nice bobmarley that's pretty cool actually considering.
Bump
My name is SilverbackSays, and I approve of this message!
Bump and shameless plug -
The reason for this plug is that if we had the user session timeout event, added to the AuditingEvent table, then we be able to work out who is actually online.
Without it we can only know when they last logged on not if they are still online.
Here is a similar report that shows the last time users have logged in
--SWQL
--Shows last login for all users
SELECT TOP 1000 AccountID, Enabled, AllowNodeManagement, AllowMapManagement, AllowAdmin, CanClearEvents, AllowReportManagement, AllowAlertManagement, AllowCustomize, AllowUnmanage, AllowDisableAction, AllowDisableAlert, AllowDisableAllActions, AlertSound, MenuName, HomePageViewID, DefaultNetObjectID, DisableSessionTimeout, ReportFolder, AlertCategory, Expires, LastLogin, LimitationID1, LimitationID2, LimitationID3, AccountSID, AccountType, AllowViewCopCheck, DisplayName, Description, InstanceType, Uri, InstanceSiteId
FROM Orion.Accounts
WHERE Enabled LIKE 'Y'
Order by LastLogin DESC
Curtesy of mesverrum: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/thread/115288
Try this SWQL in a custom query;
SELECT tolocal(TimeLoggedUtc) AS [Last Login]
,AccountID
,AuditEventMessage
FROM Orion.AuditingEvents AS AE
WHERE daydiff(timeloggedutc ,getutcdate())<31
AND AE.AuditingActionType.ActionType = 'Orion.UserLogin'
ORDER BY TimeLoggedUtc

Great insight.
