Notes/Domino - Tracking user login/logoffs?

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

Hi,

I hope I am in the right forum and have entered the correct information to ask a question.

I am a Domino Admin that needs to track a user’s Notes client login to the Domino Server.

Meaning, we want to track activity of a user.

I have heard of setting up IP address logging in teh console log after adding a variable in the Notes.ini on the Domino Server and that should timestamp users activity for when they use their Notes client.

But, are there other ways of knowing when a user accesses their Mail DB file on the server?

I have been looking at the console.log and see these entries:

09/25/2009 07:10:35 AM Opened session for User/IBM/DOMINO/DOMAIN (Release 8.5)

09/25/2009 07:12:06 AM Closed session for User/IBM/DOMINO/DOMAIN Databases accessed: 1 Documents read: 0 Documents written: 0

Is this the server or the client accessing/reading/writing to the user’s mail file?

Any other thoughts?

Thanks so much for any feedback.

Hi Harry,

Thanks - good link for Activity logging.

I think that can be a future option for us.

However, can you answer my question about whether the console.log output I pasted in above is the “Server” updating the user’s mail file or the user’s Notes client?

Please advise - if possible.

Regards,
