User Activity Logs

User activity logs provide visibility into users' online records (such as login time, online/lockout duration, and login IP addresses) and the actions users perform. User activity logs help you identify exceptions during user login and network access activities.

Context

Before querying user activity logs on the USG6510E/6510E-POE/6530E,, you have run the log type um enable command on the FW to enable the recording of user activity logs.

Procedure

  1. Choose Monitor > Logs > User Activity Logs to view user activity logs.
  2. Optional: Click to export user activity logs in CSV format to the management PC.
  3. Click Add Filter and enter search criteria to search for user activity logs.

    If the device has no disk, click Advanced Search to filter logs.

  4. Optional: You can click to save the current log query conditions as a log query template for future use.

    The next time you want to use these query conditions, you only need to click to select the template name and click OK. Then the system queries logs based on the template conditions. The device administrator can click Template Distribution to view the number of templates created by each user. In addition, you can click to delete a log query template.
