Hi,

Is there a way to show the "user login history" on the interface screen  used by end-users? 

I do know that system admin can monitor the "Current User Activity" from [Appian Administration Console > MONITORING > Current User Activity].

But, the needed function is to show the "history of user login".

Thank you

    Hi,

    A couple of options that come to mind - 

    1) Since each log in attempt is recorded in the login-audit.csv file, which is is located in the <APPIAN_HOME>/logs directory, you can periodically parse this file to store in a database table, and display login history of a user on an interface by querying the database table. 

    2) You can explore the use of Appian Usage Insights utility available on the Appian AppMarket. One of the metrics tracked is Logins by user (over time).

    Hope this helps.
