Client Sessions

Monitored data received from Windows, macOS and Linux Clients is organized into Client sessions.

Windows and macOS Client sessions include user activity recorded (screen captures, application names, activity titles, keystrokes, clipboard text data, URLs, etc).

Windows and macOS Clients start recording user activity in a new session every time a user logs in (or a Client computer is restarted). Furthermore, the maximum duration of one session is 24 hours, as at 00:00 (midnight) all live sessions are terminated. After termination, their status changes from Live to Finished, and new live sessions then start automatically.

Remote Linux Client sessions include a list of commands executed along with their parameters and functions. Linux Clients start recording a new monitoring session each time a remote SSH terminal is opened. Furthermore, the maximum duration of one SSH session is 24 hours, as at 00:00 (midnight) all live sessions are terminated. After termination, their status changes from Live to Finished, and new live sessions then start automatically.

NOTE: Remote X-forwarded sessions can also be monitored, but in a slightly different manner, where X Window System applications are monitored as child sessions of a remote SSH parent session.

Local Linux Client sessions for X Window System include user activity recorded (screen captures, application names, activity titles, and activity times, etc). The maximum duration of one local session is 24 hours, as at 00:00 (midnight) all live sessions are terminated. After termination, their status changes from Live to Finished, and new live sessions then start automatically.
