Viewing User Actions |
The Iguana logs keep track of the following actions that users perform:
- Logging into or logging out of the system;
- Attempting to log in with an unknown user name or incorrect password;
- Stopping a channel;
- Changing a channel configuration;
- Adding or deleting a channel.
The Iguana logs also indicate when a user session has expired due to inactivity.

New Feature in Iguana 4.1 Log messages that describe user actions were added in Iguana 4.1. This capability enables administrators to monitor who is using the Iguana server. | ||

The following table lists the messages that are generated by the Iguana logs:
| Action | Message |

| User logs out of Iguana | User <username> has logged out. |
| User attempts to log in with an unknown user name | Failed login attempt from remote IP <address>: non-existent user <username>. |
| User attempts to log in with an incorrect password | Failed login attempt from remote IP <address>: incorrect password for user <username>. |
| Channel stopped | Channel is being stopped by user <username>. |
| Channel configuration changed | Channel <channelname> modified by user <username>. |
| Channel added | Channel <channelname> added by user <username>. |
| Channel deleted | Channel <channelname> removed by user <username>. |
| User session expires | Session has expired for user <username>. |

Failed login attempts are recorded as log messages of type Error. This means that they will appear on the Dashboard Control Panel as errors. | ||

The easiest way to determine who has logged in is to search the logs using the text query "has logged in". See Searching the Logs for more information. | ||
