Login Activity

This module logs user login activity for every user on a Drupal installation. This can be used to provide important user information about when and from where their user account was used to login to the website. If a user notices unusual activity, the user might take required action to protect the account from getting compromised.

The module logs the following information about a login activity;

• User's UID.
• $_SERVER['HOST_USER_AGENT'] string.
• IP address of the host being used for the login activity.
• UNIX timestamp.

Further, it also provides a report page at admin/reports/login_activity where login activity related information of all the users is displayed in the form of a report.

Dependencies

This module depends on the browscap module or PHP's get_browser(), which needs to be configured in php.ini.

• Browscap module: Browscap provides an improved version of PHP's get_browser() function. While this module is optional, it is preferred as it's easier to maintain and better suited for shared hosts than using PHP's get_browser().
• PHP Browscap and get_browser(): this requires you to set the browsercap directive in your php.ini file and make it point to a valid browscap.ini file which is used as a database for extracting information using the get_browser() function. A latest browscap.ini can be downloaded from http://browsers.garykeith.com/downloads.asp. Further details on setting up browscap could be found here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2036956/browscap-ini-directive-not-set.

Features to be added soon:

• Activity categorisation on the basis of login and logout.
• Notification of login/logout information for a particular session.
• Notification of concurrent logins.
• Views integration.
• Login activity of all the users with appropriate filters. (Note: This will be an admin feature for site admins)
