Reviewing user in Longview Server Manager

You can use Longview Server Manager to perform the following tasks related to user data analysis:

• View a list of all users
• View a list of currently connected users
• View a list of user connection history

To review user data in Longview Server Manager, complete the following steps:

1. In the Longview Server Manager home page, click User connections in the Functionality section. The User connections page comes into view, showing data of all users in the All users tab by default.

   

2. Click the Refresh button while on the All users tab to refresh user information.

3. You can click the desired column heading to sort the list of users by that heading. The Status column indicates the current connection status of each user.
4. To view the history of user connections for a certain number of days, type the desired number of days into the Days history field. The list of connected users for the desired number of days appears.

   Note: The Days history field is based on calendar days and always includes results from the current day. For example, typing 1 in the Days history field retrieves all users connected from one day before the current day up to the current time.

5. To retrieve all users again, clear the number from the Days history field.
6. To view the currently connected users, click the Connected users tab. The list of currently connected users appears. Click the Refresh button to refresh the list of connected users.
7. To generate a report from the User Connections, click the export to Excel icon. On the Save As dialog, select a file location and give the file a name. Click Save to save the report to an Excel file. The report includes user data according to the settings on the User Connections page.
8. When you are finished viewing user data, click the Home icon on the left navigation to go back to the Longview Server Manager home page.

Search in User connections

In each functionality page, you can use the Search field to easily find the items you need. The search functionality allows to filter a list based on the text you type in the Search box. The Search functionality is available for all the tabs in each page. If you switch between the tabs in a functionality page, and apply the Search filter, each tab will display only the matched items.

Additionally, the Search functionality allows you to search folders and files under the sub-folders. For example, if you want to search a log file with the name starting from "event", then in the Search box, start typing event. The Search box will display all the files under folders and sub folders with the name event. For more information, see the following image:

To clear the search, delete the text in the Search box or click the Close button in the Search box.
