Hello Monks!
I'm trying to come up with a good way to monitor users that
log into one of our nodes each day, we have 8 nodes a user
may log into and our user list is about 250. I want to keep
a tally on when and where a user logged in on a particular
day regardless of which node they used. I.E even if they
logged into 3 nodes for hours on 07/20/2001 the user is only
charged for one day. Visa/versa if a user logged into one
node per day for a minute for three days they are billed
for three days. The closest thing I can come up with is
using the event viewer "security log" but as many may know
this is not a flat text file, so parsing it may be impossible.
I really only need the user, date, and node. Eventually the
stats would be posted on our web showing the power users and
nodes used most often. One quick note. The users use
terminal services client to attach to a node via our domain
controller. I hope you guys can point me in right direction
THANKS!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
