Monitor Users/Computers
|
The Monitor Users view lists the users who have been or are being recorded. This view is useful when you are interested in the activity of each person. If you prefer to monitor computer rather than user activity, switch to the Monitor Computers view. See Switch Views. The Monitor Users view allows you to:
Record events by user
View a list of recorded users
See the recording date range for each user at a glance
Double-click a user to view recordings from the Data Vault
Save a list of users
The Monitor Users view records, organizes, and provides access to recorded events by user login. It consolidates data for a user who may have logged in on various computers across the network (where the Client is installed).
Note: Users will NOT be listed in Monitor Users until recordings for them have received and stored in the Data Vault or until a user list has been loaded.
Monitor Users displays information from the Data Vault in the following columns:
User Name - The network or local user's login name.
Domain - The domain or workgroup the user logs into.
Computer - If the user logged into a domain, this column displays "Network." If the user logged into a workgroup or locally, this column displays the Client computer name.
First Event - The date and time of the first recorded event available for this user in the Data Vault. This is the date/time the event was received by the Data Vault, not the date of recording on the Client.
Last Event - The date and time the last recorded event for this user was received by the Data Vault.
There are four ways to access menu options in this view. (1) Right-click the Monitor Users icon in the left pane, (2) right-click a blank area in the right pane, (2) right-click on a user in the right pane, or (4) select a user in the right pane and open the Action menu at the top of the window.
