How to check/find persistent sessions

[raji_toor]

How can we check from CLI sessions that have been running for hours or days.

Hello,

While you can do something like show sessions via the cli. I prefer the GUI in this since you can just export the data as a csv and manipulate the data that way, e.g. sort by start. However I'm sure someone can chime in with proper cli commands for this.

When logging at session end, exporting logs does not help as a persistent session will not be in the log.

Session browser does not show more than 1024 sessions and can't export to csv and can't filter by date.

So i think best would be from cli but i i don't know how.

@OtakarKlier Does this make sense.

Hello,

That is a good question. Perhaps someone else could jump in and help out. You can sort he session browser by start date/time, maybe that can help to narrow down your search?

try min-age and min-kb options in show session 

+ min-age minimum age in seconds
+ min-kb minimum KB of byte count

> show session all filter min-age
<value> <1-4194304> minimum age in seconds

for example

show session all filter min-age 86400  to find all sessions that has not aged out for over 86400 seconds (1 day) when you run the command.

That should provide the list of session which has not aged out for over X seconds, or use min-kb to look for large transfer.

you can also use the API to get all the session detail out as well,

/api/?type=op&cmd=<show><session><all><filter><min-age></min-age></filter></all></session></show>
