Monitor sessions per user

Post by WillemDH »

Hello,

Anyone know what would be the best way to monitor the number of http requests per user? I had one user today who had 60 tabs with Nagios XI open which resulted in a load of 20 and more. it would be nice to have a service which would warn me if users are causing too much load.

You could probably look at the volume of requests showing up in access_log and at least get a unique IP/host of someone who's got an awful lot of requests coming in. But based on how we authenticate those AJAX requests on the back-end, there isn't an easy way to tie the authentication token to any specific user (this is by design).
