Auditing user's computer name

[Tomasz_Luczak]

Hi All,

Has anybody tried to log (in audit.log file) user’s computer name?
MWS v.9.12

When I logging to Business Console or MWS in audit.log file below line appear.

2018-04-19 17:14:28 CEST (Audit:INFO) [MWS Async Event Deliverer pool-1-thread-3] - LoginEvent; ip-address=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; timestamp=1524150868894; username=domain\userlogin; action=Logged In

I’d like to log computer name as well. Is it possible?

Hi,

as the computer name is available via MWS Portal Administration (like SysAdmin) → Administration Dashboard → Session Monitor, there should be an option to access this information somehow.

Regards,
Holger

Hi Holger,

The portlet you mentioned is “wm_sessionmonitor”.

Quote from “9-12_My_webMethods_Server_Portlet_Reference.pdf” document:

Analysis. Administrators use this portlet to monitor all active My webMethods Server
sessions. Administrators can also view the host name and IP address of logged in users
and the node in the cluster to which they are logged in.

But I logged to MWS as sysadmin
(Folders >Administrative Folders >Administration Dashboard >Analysis > Session Monitor)
and there are only 3 columns:
NAME → user logins
CLIENT_LOCATION → IP address
ADMINISTRATOR → true / false

Where user’s host name should be displayed?

Hi Tomasz,

in this case you are encountering an issue with IP resolution, as I am able to see either computernames or IP addresses in the column CLIENT_LOCATION.

IP addresses only for the case that the address cannot be resolved to a computername via DNS lookup.

Regards,
Holger
