Log Sessions

A session is a user's activity at a specified site or with a specified application. The session starts when a user connects to an application or to a site. The Security Gateway includes all the activity that the user does in the session in one session log (in contrast to the firewall log which shows top sources, destinations, and services).

To search for log sessions:

In the Logs tab of the Logs & Monitor view, search for type:Session

In the Logs tab of the Logs & Monitor view, select a session log.

To configure the session timeout:

By default, after a session continues for three hours, the Security Gateway starts a new session log. You can change this in SmartConsole from the Manage & Settings view, in Blades > Application and URL Filtering > Advanced Settings > General > Connection unification.
