Track on user activity

I have root user access on the system,
We have another user and our consultants are using that user for upgrading.
I woluld like to keep records /track on all of thier commands.
What is the best way?
OS: zLinux, SuSE Liunx Enterprise Server 10
thanks

have a look at sudosh2: https://sourceforge.net/projects/sudosh2
there isn't an rpm. nor do I know how good/stable/usable it is.
(there's a replay function which seems to me more eye-candy than usefull; you don't want to replay all shells.)
also have a look at the auditd, which is in suse/redhat by default AFAIK

Tracking of user activity in the system

i'm currently on a project which i need to use BI to track the user activity on the SAP System example like the time they log in or out, the transaction thay made etc. was juz wondering if anyone can give me some idea, solution or a head start in my project. thanks.

Hi,
You could use the tables USR01.....thru USR07 etc. These tables contain user information like name,login times etc.
eg .USR07 gives the tcode etc.
You could create a view to extract the appropriate fields. Then create a datasource using either the view or a function module. You'll have to decide your requirement. Then the rest in BI is pretty standard. The only point should be what data to extract from which tables and how...
Assign points if useful

Track a user activity

Hi All,
From our production system, around 500 scheduled jobs got deleted. We dont know how and who did it. We would like to find out who did this.
I checked with the security team and found who all were having access to delete the job. Now how can i find out who all were logged in to the production system for that particular time(i.e. yesterday) and what all transaction done by those users.
Kindly help me.
Regards
Maneesh Chandran.

Hi,
Your security team should be able to give you the requested information. If they can't then you should get a new team as this is basic stuff for them.
There are a few techniques, the stat records (ST03N) will give you a rough idea of who was logged in and some of the things that they did. If the audit log is activated (which it should be) then using SM20N you will be able to get the info in a better format than ST03N.
There could a whole load of reasons and methods that this happened but the above will get you started.

Track User Activity

Hello,
I need to be able to track our user activity in a company intranet. I need to track when and capture the user name of the employee to a database so that I can build reports from it.
This is more than web statistics. I need to be able to verify that the user actually visited the page.
Any ideas and tips would be greatly appreciated! I can't find an extension that works with ASP to help me with this.
Crystal

As much as I believe in Dreamweaver for corporate intranets, due to the typical structure, your best bet is Sharepoint Server with Sharepoint Designer. You can track by the network login and do many things that would take a lot of programming for a Dreamweaver based site and it supports ASP much better than DW ever will because ASP is made by MS.

Hi
Try Google Analytics.
Check this article for integrating Google Analytics in Portal.

Tracking user activity (including objects/records/data viewed)

Hello everybody,
I am looking for information regarding monitoring of user activities on the system.
I know the main instrument to achieve that is the security audit log (sm19/sm20) but that does not monitor the data user accesses to. I.E., they log the user launches transaction su01 (view/modify user data), for example, but not which user data he looks at.
Insufficient to get that are also STAD/STAT transactions too, maybe user trace st01 or st05 give that data?
Even in that case however a user trace would be very heavy on the performances and on the occupied disk space I think, so I am wondering, and asking all the experts, is if there are standard transactions to achieve the same, or maybe even external 3rd party programs.
Thank you
Marco Baiocco

> Unfortunately that is not yet really clear even to me.
I see...
> I have been passed a generic request to investigate upon tracking mechanisms: the customer wants to be able to know which user have made logon and on which data they have worked (in read only and in modification).
> I guess this could imply sensitive data but possibly also business data.
The question to be answered also is: Is it legal in the country to track all the user activity?
> If there is a solution for sensitive data, at least (btw su01 was just an example)?
I'm not really aware of any but Security Audit.
I would ask the customer what exactly he wants and what he plans to do with the data. There are SAP products (GRC) to help auditing and securing the system but first there must be a clean requirement to find out, which way to go.

Tracking User Activity with Standard Web Logs and Tools Like WebTrends

We are running EP 6 SP14 on UNIX and I'm looking to track user activity. Not just how many people have logged in, but who is accessing what documents in KM. For example, what documents are the most popular and how much use the system is getting.
I was hoping that EP 6 (Unix platform) ran off us some standard web engine (like Apache) and we could just turn web logs on, but from the lack of discussion on SDN, I'm not encouraged.
All I've seen is unofficial link to a Portal Activity Report, which would get us part of the way, but is not full web reporting.
Portal Activity Report:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn?id=/library/uuid/0101b690-0201-0010-6584-a02730ad5edd
Does anyone have any insight on this?

HI llise
Did you get any answers? We are in the same quandry as the exisitng tracking reports are not sufficient for our needs as our users are used to using more sophisticated tools like livestat.

Intelligent netflow for user activity tracking

Hi All,
I am looking for a netflow system that can track a specific users activity on the network.
What I am looking for is a system that can take the netflow information and create a link from the IP information to a user or website/server so that you can search for a user and get a complete overview of the users network communication.
Anyone know of such a product?

Scrutinizer can do this. This blog explains how we grab the log but, we can also launch a page for a specific IP address.

Tracking user activity, 'Activity Universe'

How can I track user activity within InfoView and Central Management Console of Crystal? I need to audit which users are viewing which reports, what changes they are making, permissions that are being set and so on...
I have heard of "Activity Universe". Is it part of Crystal, I dont seen an install option when I install and I dont see any clear reference to it?

I found the audit page, that is what I need.
However... it is not available to me: "Your license does not allow auditing."
What kind of licensing do I need?
What is the cost?
Is there a webpage that clearly explains the licensing cost/options?

Tracking User Active

We need to justify use of Essbase by users and need a way to track: What Users are loging in, How often/How many times and what Apps/DBs they are loging into. Is there any way to track these Stats over say a month.

You may also want to check out the Log Analysis Database provided by Hyperion in the Software Library area of Essbase.com (http://www.essbase.com/main.asp?webpagekey=259).This is a database and load rules created by Hyperion that allow you to load / parse the Essbase logs directly into an Essbase database - providing full Essbase functionality (slice & dice) on your usage data!I used this (with some modifications / enhancements) at a number of clients to help them track Essbase usage. If you want to get fancy you get even automatically generate Reports and email them to people every morning.- Jay---------------------------Jay NishSenior Business Intelligence ConsultantClarity SystemsEmail: [email protected]: www.claritysystems.com

How to track the user who deleted the info object.

Dear Gurus,
In our BI system one info object has got deleted. If I need to track the user who has deleted that how can I track it(in which DBtable). And the complication is one user ID is being used by many people, in this case how can I track that from which machine the Info Object has been deleted(if there is any possibility to track the machines by IP address).
Kindly let me know if there is any procedure to find it out. Your help will be rewarded with a great honour.
Regards
Mohan Kumar

Hi dear,
you have to go in SLG1 transaction, and then select
Object: RSD
Subobject: IOBJ_DEL
External ID: (put here the name of your deleted IO)
Then choose a time range...and voilà, you can find the user who deleted the IO...
Hope it helps!
Bye,
Roberto
About the IP...look at USR41 table, but I think it's a bit difficult fo find data referred to the past...
If you haven't activated logon auditing in SM19...

How to track WebUI users in GUI

Hi,
I want to track users in GUI who are login via WebUI . Is there any way to track the users in GUI who are working in WebUi like which report they are running, whether their session is active or stuck
We are using CRM 7.0
Regards,
Puskar

Thanks for update,
Now I am checking with development team to develop the functionality to register in a custom table which track webui users in GUI, Because my actual requirement is to implement a long term solution for the table lock issue
We want a solution where Service Requests will be automatically unlocked after 30 minutes if no process is running. As some times users are complaining that Service Requests locked in following cases
u2022     Network volatility: When Network is not instable
u2022     When Network cable is unplugged
u2022     When user doesnu2019t follow the correct way to navigate around Webclient

Monitor User Activity

How can I track a user's mouse or keyboard activity? I am looking for a way to auto-logoff a user from a specific application if they have not touched their workstation in a specified amount of time. Any clues that can be passed my way will be appreciated =)

You might want to post this in one of the software forums. You might get a better answer than mine.
I can point you in some direction but it will involve writing a script. Off the top of my head you can use the output of the "w" command to see how long the user has been idle. It will not be clean but for users that idle of a determined amount of time have the script "kill" the users process or login shell.
Be careful....I don't know what application you are looking to stop but there is always a chance that it might cause corruption or loss of data.
It is not the cleanest or prettiest.

Query for 'User Activity' Webi Line Chart using BO4.0 Auditor

Need to create a webi line chart to measure ‘user activity’ per month, year or day using BO4.0 Auditor on Oracle.
This question raises two sub-questions:
What actions constitute user activity? Is it concurrent logins by users? I am confused if that would really give a true picture of user activity as users can log in and do nothing on the BO system.
If concurrent logins do in fact give a true picture of user activity then how do I go about creating a chart? What objects do I need to include in query?
Please provide feedback?
Thank u.

Hi Ramil,
Follow below steps to create a webi report for your requirement, launch Webi rich client and create a new webi report by selecting "BOEXI40-Audit-Oracle" (Audit universe)
1) Select below objects in 'Result Objects' pane
[Event Year], [Event MonthName],[Event DayofMonth], [Event Type], [User Name], [Total Event Count]
2) Define below conditions in "Query Filter" pane
[Event Type Id] In list 1015 AND [Event Year] In list "Select Year" (Prompt)
3) Run query
4) At report level create a new variable of type measure with the name "User Activity" with below formula
=Count([Total Event Count]In([User Name];[Event MonthName];[Event DayOfMonth]) )
(This formula will track logout event of a each user in a day as well as in a month, it will take/count only one log out event of the user in a day as you desire)
5) Create a table block as well as graphs as you desire
i) For day wise user activity create a table/graph using: [Event DayofMonth], [User Activity]
ii) For month wise user activity create a table/graph using: [Event MonthName], [User Activity]
Let me know if you have any questions

APEX... USER ACTIVITY LOG

Hi,
Is there a way I can track user activity... need to know who loged into the application and how many times and which pages were reviewed...
I believe this is something that already exists within APEX, as a new Bee need some directions...
Thanks

Hello 'user12863454',
This is an old thread but wasn't sure if you had got the answer for it. Just in case, if you haven't, here's something you could try.
1) Login to APEX as an apex administrator
2) On top right region --> Monitor Activity (you'll see this only if you are an administrator)
3) This should take you bunch of existing links (apex built-in reports) that also shows what you need
- Page views by User, by Application, etc
Hope this helps.
Of course, all this information is stored in 'apex_activity_log' (built-in view). Remember, as the previous Forums user posted, this data is stored only for '4 weeks' and if you need historical information then you'd have to build a custom table and custom code to store the data.
Regards,
Taj
