This feature is useless in Proxy environments - JRA-22399 had to be fixed (added link).

The current user sessions are now show in the admin section.

You try to obtain the info that you are after with help of tools available for your OS or application server. Please review the following:

• netstat for linux - http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Finding+out+how+many+requests+a+web+application+currently+has
• User access logging - http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/User+access+logging
• Administration application for Tomcat - http://linux-sxs.org/internet_serving/c516.html

Please note, the above suggestions are not supported by us as they are not strictly related to our applications and if assistance is needed you should contact your IT personnel.

Let me know how you go.

Hi,
I think in addition it would make sens to have some reports on this feature like: how many users logged in since x days...etc..
Could it be possible ?
I know it is marked for short term road map..
What does atlassian think about this ..?

Minimally I need to know how many users are using the system at a given time in case I need to restart the server. A list of active users would be nice. If there were login/logout/session timeout events then a plugin could be created to track this.

We are not using crowd.

As of now we are following approach 2 given above.

Rgds,
Sreedhar H.

If you are using Crowd, you can use
SELECT FROM_UNIXTIME(FLOOR(Round(value)/1000)) as 'lastLogin', remoteprincipalname
FROM ATTRIBUTEVALUES
INNER JOIN ATTRIBUTES ON attributevalueid = ATTRIBUTES.id AND ATTRIBUTES.ATTRIBUTE = 'lastAuthenticated'
INNER JOIN REMOTEPRINCIPAL ON NAME = remoteprincipalname
WHERE REMOTEPRINCIPAL.ACTIVE = '1'
ORDER BY lastLogin
on the Crowd-DB,
Nevertheless I would like to know how to show the information to the user.

i have raised a similar type of question in jira development forums, and also I have provided 2-3 appraoches of implementing the solution.

http://forums.atlassian.com/thread.jspa?threadID=29972&tstart=0

I have found 2-3 approaches for recording logon and logout times. I am listing approaches in brief below:
Can you help me in deciding which will be best one.

Approach 1:
I have found two interceptors and two filters which can useful for recording logon and logout times of all users into database.
I am giving the list below:

Interceptors:
UserPreferencesResetInterceptor
PortalPageInterceptor

Filters:
PasswordBasedLoginFilter
LoginFilter

Cons: 1.) Solution needs modifying existing jira source code which I dont prefer as I would like to develop solution as a 3rd party plugin instead of modifying existing code.
2.) Dont know whether it is a good practice to fire a sql query from filter or interceptors.

Approach 2:
Developing a new filter or interceptor where i can record logn and logout times into database. And configure new filter or interceptor in web.xml or in seraph-config.xml.
Cons:1.) Dont know whether it is a good practice to fire a sql query from filter or interceptors.

Approach 3:
Develop a portlet or report plugin which wont be rendered on default dashboard but will get executed in the default dashboard and this hidden portlet will internally calls sql query to record times.

Pros:1.) no need of modifying existing code
Cons:1.) Im not sure whether plugin for hidden portlet on default dashboard can be implemented.

I request you to please help in which approach can be implemented.

This information is not recorded in the database. This is only possible by dploying your own HttpSessionListener and tracking session created and destroyed events.

Does anyone have a clue on which piece of the JIRA database schema could be used to determine this?
