Description

 

Remote Desktop Manager supports two types of logs:

 

 

Local Session Log

 

A basic local logging system is automatically available by default. This allows the system administrator to view the log file for all session activities on the current machine. It's available on the local machine only via the menu View Local Connection Log.

The log is written directly to a file in the settings folder.

 

Shared Session Log

 

The shared session log offers a more robust solution. Through it, it's possible to monitor an opened session for all users by using the SQL Server, or the Remote Desktop Manager Online data source. The log is available for a specific session in the context menu View->Logs, in the session configuration (Log tab page), and in the dashboard.

 

The log contains all the CRUD (add, edit and delete) operations, including the time and the username. It also contains all the details about the open/closed sessions, including those from the VPN.

 

Session logs

 

It's also possible to view in real time who is connected by ticking the checkbox "Show live session only." This will filter the list to display only the opened sessions in the grid.

 

The session log can be visualized in a global view by using the shared connection log (View Shared Connection Log). Use this view to find  information for multiple sessions for a specific time, or for a specific user. The window is similar to a search tool and it offers multiple filter types, including:
