Qualifier: When someone asks me to code, my persona takes on Gary (sponge Bob) and I also start to drool   

 

I am looking to see if the following is possible:

  1. History of users logged in (in a BI environment)
  2. What did they use (STP, SAS Code, AMO EG, etc.)
  3. Any remote possibility of listing which libraries they accessed? 

I could go to EVM, but due to storage considerations, have not enabled the extended EVM kit, plus I would need to wait a month to get anything usable.

 

Is there any sample code that you know that I could use?

 

May you win that lottery!  Thank you in advance,

The information you want is very SAS-centric so I strongly suspect you will have to implement the extended EVM logging to get all that you want. Parsing existing SAS server logs may enable you to get some user history and possibly what SAS app has been used, but there are a lot of logs and how many you have and where they are stored will depend on what products you have and how your SAS installation has been configured. By the time you've figured all of this out you could have a month of extended EVM logging data.

The logs of the metadata-server shows logins including the application used. The logs of the StoredProcess-Server should show which SP was used by whom. For anything beyond this, you need to activate the extended logging in evm.

 

I the company i work for, staff representation must be consulted before such monitoring can be implemented.

Greetings and TY for your valuable input.  We decided to write code that will give us what we are looking for and by then the extended EVM kit will have 30 days of data to report on and we will use that.

 

Gracias!
