how to get user login history in sas 9.4

I got a task to get report of SAS users login history for past 3 to 6 months and activities of all users (like access the dataset, library, etc.,). I am using SAS 9.4M5.

Let me know if there any option using SAS environment manager also.

I had a look in to this documents which helps me to get the last login information - https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/Get-last-SAS-logins-of-users-and-clients/ta-p/352727

Best regards,

If you enable SAS Environment Manager Service Architecture framework you have some audit reports available OOTB. It can help you fetch this information. Here is the link to list of reports:

Other way as shared in the article is write custom code to fetch this information from metadata server logs.

Logins to the SAS system can be extracted from the metadata server logs, but detailed information for dataset and library usage has to be taken from the workspace server logs for EG and Studio users. And if people can run code in batch from a commandline, the accesses from that will not be traceable
