Collecting user login counts hourly, daily, weekly

I've been tasked to collect user login counts (hourly, daily, weekly) at each of our iMacs here in our computer lab (there's 25 iMacs).
I've got Remote Desktop installed here on my workstation, and I KNOW there's a way to do it; is that a built-in feature of Remote Desktop, or is there a UNIX command I can send every hour to all of our computers and save the results?
I'm hoping somebody can shed some light on this for me.

Hi Ben,
The "User History" report is the built-in feature you're looking for. Before it will be useful, you'll need to go into the Remote Desktop Preferences, Task Server tab, and select the "Collect User Accounting" option. Then you will need to make sure that the data collection policies of all the clients get updated. This is done most easily through the Get Info window.
This report will collect raw data, but it isn't going to give you hourly, daily, and weekly totals.

Hello All,
We are using Webcenter 11.1.1.4 and we have integrated with Active Directory and we are also able to login to webcenter Spaces using AD users.
Now as an Administrator We want to generate a report specifying how many times a particular user has logged-in for a specified period of time.
We have also integrated UCM with webcenter and Our 2nd requirement is how to generate a report specifying how many documents a particular user has contributed or accessed within a specific interval of time.
How to generate such reports. Please help.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply Yannick.
We have install/configure WebCenter analytics and activity graph.
Wehave added Login Metrics in our Group Space and we are getting default login count for specific time frame but when we define a filter under User Property of any property like city, department name, phone title etc after refreshing data it is giving error like
WCS#2011.03.31.12.47.31 : Irresolvable error(s) occurred. You may want to contact Administrator with the error reference.
Please help how to solve this.

Time Machine not thinning older backups (Hourly= Daily= Weekly)

Ever since upgrading to Snow Leopard, Time machine has kept hourly backups of my computer.
In the past under 10.5, after about 24 hours, TM would delete all but the last hourly backup of the day and keep daily backups for 30 days, then after about 30 days delete the daily backups except for 1 per week and keep weekly backups thereafter.
Now, TM does it's hourly backups like normal, but I have hourly backups from today all they way back to 29 August (about 24 hours prior to when I upgraded to 10.6) and then weekly backups from that date until 30 July (i.e. about 30 days prior to the upgrade).
Called AppleCare and talked to 2 different people. Both questioned whether TM really was even supposed to thin old backups like this (um, it's written in the da^^ preference pane, guys) and one admitted that he doesn't even use a Mac at home and that in the support office they don't have TM on their macs, so he's never used it!
Needless to say, not sure how to a) get TM to start thinning the backups like it should and b) also thin out all the previous backups so I don't have a 2 month glut of frequent backups.
I've looked all over and found nothing. Anyone with some advice? I'd like to avoid killing all my backups and starting over.

Forensic
I suggest you follow the advice posted above by V.K., once installed it will provide a log of what TM is doing.
Once you have that info, post back here and someone far wiser than I will help you to resolve the issue.

Can I get a list of users that visits a certain page on a Sharepoint site on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.

Hi, We need a list of users that visits a certain page on a SharePoint site on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.
Now the question is, is that possible out of the box or through the custom web development.
Thanks

HT201250 Is there a way to change the intervals at which Time Machine performs backups (e.g., weekly instead of hourly or daily) past 24 hours, daily for the past month, and weekly for everything older...

Is there a way to change the intervals at which Time Machine performs backups (e.g., weekly instead of hourly or daily) past 24 hours, daily for the past month, and weekly for everything older...

You can edit the interval in Console or install a Pref Pane

HT201250 How does backupd decide what counts as a weekly backup?

Time machine seems to have decided that all but the oldest of my daily backups over a month old are expired backups to be deleted.
I thought it would keep all weekly backups until the disk became full.
The backup disk is far from full, so how did it decide that none of the backups it deleted counted as a "weekly backup"?

About TM "Backup Drive is Full" Alert
TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive.

IP SLA Detailed daily, weekly Report could not be found

Hello.
I use Cisco Prime LMS 4.2.1. When i generate IPSLA Detailed UDP Jitter Report with granularity "Minute" "Hourly" everything is OK, but when i with "Daily" "Weekly" i get this message: "Report could not be found". Report "Availability" and "Latency" generate well.
In IPSLA System summary i see again only "Availability" and "Latency" reports.
System Consolidation Daily Job generates every day. And inside job i can see that UDP Jitter rows is proccesed.
By the way, I can generate UDP Jitter report from CLI.
In Relise notes LMS 4.2 i saw open bug CSCtv11780:
An error message "Report could not found" is displayed when you generate a report using:
•System: Management Type in the Report Attributes column, and
•any other attributes, such as Location from System Inventory Group in the Rules for Attributes column.
Someone help me, please.

SharePoint guys figured it out. That error about the missing DLL is very misleading because it's still not there after we got it all working.

How can I filter a Sharepoint 2007 libarry list based on current user login?

Hi all.
I would like to know how I can filter a SharePoint library list based on current user login.
Suppose I have created the followings:
1) A SharePoint form library containing bunch of uploaded InfoPath form data.
2) The InfoPath form template contains a promoted text field called "TargetUser" to store user domain login (ex: DOMAIN\JOE) and every InfoPath form file in the library has a valid domain name stored in the "TargetUser" field.
I have created a custom view for the form library and would like to filter this view so only items whose "TargetUser" field matches current user's login ID are displayed.
I went to Edit View page to customize the view and tried to use the [Me] function but I got a "Filter value is not a valid text string" message instead when clicking OK. Apparently [Me] returns a Person/Group data type and the filter cannot compare its value
to that of "TargetUser".
I tried using text functions (ex: TEXT([Me],"") hoping to extract default string value from [Me]. The filter accepts the parameter without any error but the resulting fitlered list does not display any items at all.
I have googled this subject for hours but I have not found any solution.
It would be greatly appreciated if anyone can help me to create a functional filtered list.
FYI, my SharePoint 2007 installation is just WSS 3.0 + Form Server. I do not have MOSS 2007 (so no MOSS 2007 web parts or web services).
Thank you.
Jason

Here's what I usually do in order to accomplish this. Ultimately you'll need to have 2 different fields. There's the one you already have, with DOMAIN\username stored in it. Then you'll need an additional field as a "person" column type.
Call it "TargetPerson" or something.
Create a sharepoint designer workflow that runs each time an item is created or changed. One action:
Set FIELD to VALUE.
The first FIELD is "TargetPerson", the VALUE is your "TargetUser" field.
Once this is done, then the person value is stored in the person field. This is the field that you can filter by "TargetPerson" is equal to [Me]

Using Session Variables for User Login - sometimes they don't persist... what am I doing wrong?

Hi all,
I'm running a site that requires user login. I approached the building of this site as almost a complete newb to CF (and dynamic coding in general), and it's been a great learing experience (with lots of help from you guys).
However, I guess I never learned the correct way to handle a user login. It seemed to me that I could just test the user-entered credentials against those stored in a database, then set a session variable containg that user's record number. Then, not only would I have an easy way of knowing who this user was and therefore what info to serve him, but I could test for the existence of a valid login on every page in the protected folder, by adding this code to my application.cfc in that folder:
<cfset This.Sessionmanagement=true>
<cfset This.Sessiontimeout="#createtimespan(0,8,0,0)#">
   <cfif NOT isDefined ("session.username") or NOT isDefined ("session.password") or NOT isDefined ("session.storeID")>
     <cflocation url="../index.cfm" addtoken="no">
   </cfif>
...and it goes on to run a query and verify that the session.username and session.password match for the store defined by session.storeID. If not, all session variables are cleared and it bounces you back to the login page. When the user clicks Logout, all I do is delete all the session variables.
This seemed to work great for like a year, but lately I've been getting reports that the login doesn't seem to persist for longer than approx. 20 minutes of inactivity. You can see I specified session variables to remain active for 8 hours (I know that seems like a drastically long login, but it's what's necessary for this application). I've only gotten this report from a few people, and I myself can't seem to duplicate it... I've tested an inactive login for 45 minutes now and it held.
SO: any reason you can think of why session variables would be spontaneously clearing for some people? Would having your router reset its IP address invalidate the session or something? Also, the problem seemed to begin appearing after my host upgraded all their servers to CF9... could there be any relation?
And on a more general note... did I go about this completely the wrong way to begin with? If so, what's the standard way to manage a login?
Lots of questions, I know... thanks very much for any answers or suggestions!
Joe

Ian,
Thanks very much - very helpful information.
Sounds like passing the tokens in every request is probably the way to go for this. I don't think it's likely that any users will be sharing links, unless they actually intend for the recipient to see their info anyway.
Is that all I would have to do, is add the tokens to every path? Would that guarantee that all the session variables would remain valid until timeout or being cleared?
Again, thanks, you've been really helpful.
Joe

Unfortunately this is the nature of HTTP web applications. There is NO state maintained from HTTP request to request. This is by design in the HTTP protocol specifications.
ColdFusion provides two methods to circumvent this limitation. Each method has limitations and caveats. They both rely on the passing of tokens between the client and the server with every request. These tokens can be passed as cookies OR URL (GET) variables. You are using the cookie method, which is the simpler and most common. You may be experiencing the limitation of this method. If something happens to the cookies the session can be lost.
You could pass the (CFID & CFTOKEN) OR JESSIONID tokens through the URL query string with every request. This requires one to add these values to every link, form action, cflocation or other request path in our application. ColdFusion provides the session.urltoken variable to make this easier to do. The tokens will be visible to the user. Also if the links with an individual token is share with other users, via e-mail, chat, social networks, etc and one of these users utilize the link during the life of a session (8 hours apparently in your case). Then that user will access the session of the original user.
Cookie session management is by far the most common choice by CF developers. If these methods do not meet your needs you would need to go beyond the HTTP limitations of web applications. One might be able to accomplish this with a Flex|Air|Flash applications that can be configured to use a continuous connection to the server. Thus not suffer the stateless nature of the normal HTTP request-response cycle.
I do not know if a router resetting would cause cookies to be discarded or otherwise invalidated. But I would not think it is beyond the relm of possibilities.

Is there a way to get a user login record after sleep?

I know that by opening terminal and typing in "last" (without the quote marks) that it will give me about a 3 week record of who has logged on my computer after shutdowns and restarts.
What I want to know is this:
a) Is there a way to get a user login record after the computer only goes to sleep?
b) is there a way to get the terminal to go back further than just 3 weeks or so for the shutdown/restart records?
Is there software that might do this???
Thanks in advance, this is important for me.

Thanks, Dave: so this is what I type in the terminal? "ls -l /var/log/wtmp*" (without the quotes). And how do you unzip something that has been "gzipped"?
"man gzip" will give you the details for using gzip
My first question can be explained this way: To get into the computer when it is coming out of sleep you need to type in a password, then it opens to the desktop. Is there a way I can find out the times over the course of a day/week/month that this is being done? i.e., is there a log being made somewhere of when the computer is being opened and signed onto after being asleep?
When you wake the computer from a sleep, you are not logging in again so there will be
no record of the event as a "login"
My computer possibly could be used by a few other people that have access to my computer password (don't ask why) and I basically want to know if they are signing on when I am away from my desk.
You may want to look at /var/log/asl.log or /var/log/secure.log which contain details of
authentication attempts (which is what you are doing) and failures.
I am not asking why you have multiple people accessing your computer with your password --
but consider setting up separate username, it is a lot easier to manage and you will probably
not be asking questions like this one.

How to restore from time machine for another user login

I use time machine to back my computer which has multiple user login.
First I set up time machine backup using User A. I checked that User B files in the hard disk is also backed up, and I can restore using User B login.
Then I changed the hard disk today and all users I need to recreate again.
After recreating users, I found that User A can restore files from time machine backup.
However, files originally under User B cannot be restored using either User A and User B. The error message is
"The folder “Documents” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents."
Anyone can help?

Not sure if this is related enough, but I just wrestled trying to restore from time machine too, trying to reinstall 10.5.8 after putting a new HD in my MBP, 2006 vintage.
That took sooooo long to get back to where I was before swapping disks; what did the trick was ordering a free copy of Snow Leopard install disk (free due to Apple trying to push people from idisk to icloud) which was rushed FedEx (yay) and which allowed me to access Time Machine where my ancient original OSX install disk had not.
And all it took was 2 weeks of cursing!

User login with details

hi guys,
was need to come out a report for the user login details. which has to have the date and time of the user login to SAP, with the terminal ID access from and transaction has done. can any one tell me what table it is from? or is there existing report that i can view all this? thanks

hi,
you can find the transactions by a particular user from the transaction SM04.
SM04 gives you the details of the users logged in,terminals,transactions the user is working on, the time he has logged in,no of sessions user has opened, and the memory used by the user's programs... all of that w.r.t to the client we login. but we can't get info like date and number of times the user has logged in.
U can see tables:
USR01 User master record (runtime data)
USR02 Logon data
USR03 User address data
USR05 User Master Parameter ID
USR12 User master authorization values
You can also use transaction code ST03N.
1. Go to tx code - ST03N
2. Under "Workload" you can select your "Instance or Total" so that it expands and shows you Days, Week, Month.
3. If you want to look at the transactions executed for a particular day, lets say, then double click on any day.
4. At the bottom left you get "Analysis Views"
5. Select & expand "User and Settlement Statistics"
6. Double click on "User Profile"
7. On the right side of the window you get a list of all the users
8. Double click on a particular user you want to view the details of.
9. The new screen will display the "Transactions/Reports Utilized by User XXX"
If you want to track which users executed a particular transacation then follow this:
10. In "Analysis Views" expand "Transaction Profile"
11. Double click on "Standard"
You can view the list of Transactions and Reports.
12. Double click on the Tx Code or Report you wanna check and it will show the Use of it.
hope this is helpful

Sending mail to root summarizing results of daily/weekly/monthly?

I would like to modify the daily, weekly, and monthly scripts so that I get an email notification that the jobs ran, and what they did. I added two cron jobs to my crontab file (I use cron, not launchd, should it make a difference) and they send an email to root saying that they ran and did their thing (I have postfix enabled on my Mac so I can get these emails as Postfix redirects them to the admin user's mail account).
The two added crontab entries are
54 01 * * 7 root diskutil secureErase freespace 1 /
and
48 02 * * 6 root diskutil repairPermissions /
so, apparently, diskutil can send me a summary/results email.
But daily, weekly, and monthly aren't doing that. I think it would be nice to get an email parroting all of the "echo" lines in each of the scripts to an email, or somehow summarizing the progress/results of those scripts having run into an email, and sending it to root.
Anybody out there know how to do something like that?
Thanx in advance

This works for me when I run the periodic command from the Terminal window: create a file in "etc" called "periodic.conf". In that file put:
daily_output="email@address"
weekly_output="email@address"
monthly_output="email@address"I used a full email address, but you can try just "root" or a user name and see if it works.
This setting then overrides the default settings in "/etc/defaults/periodic.conf", BTW. Oh, and they won't be logged in "/var/log/*.out" any more either.

You need to remove the # on the following three lines.
#15 3 * * * root periodic daily
#30 4 * * 6 root periodic weekly
#30 5 1 * * root periodic monthly
Save the file and you should be good to go.

Program to collect user u2013 transaction execution data for past period

Hi Experts
We are developing a program to collect user u2013 transaction execution data for past period ( 3 months-1 year ). We are getting required User and Tcode output but unable to find exact count per tcode ( executed by respective user).
We have following count components available in SAPWL_WORKLOAD_GET_STATISTIC / SWNC_COLLECTOR_GET_AGGREGATES
COUNT , DCOUNT ( Dialog count for transaction ) , UCOUNT , BCOUNT , ECOUNT, SCOUNT ,LUW_COUNT .
Out of which LUW_COUNT -Logical Units of Work comes close to no ot time transaction was executed but itu2019s even not the exact count as one transaction code can have more than one LUW .
Does anyone have idea about how to get the right count .
Thanks
Vani

If audit log is enabled in SM19 for transaction criteria all, you can get the transaction history executed by the users. But may need more space on audit file system if this is enabled for all users. May be you can archive once in 3 months into ZIP files and can unzip whenever you need.
