For some weird reason I never picked up on this tool. Months ago Richard Garsthagen released a beta version of vAudit and recently it was updated to version 1.5.
Why would you use vAudit? vAudit has been developed to show you when your VDI Users are logging in and for how long they are using the virtual desktop. I think it is the ideal auditing tool during a Proof of Concept. Are your users actually using it as much as they are saying? When are they using it and for how long?
vAudit has an export to CSV feature which enables you to analyze trends regarding usage. Below you can find the release notes and a link to the download section of Richard’s site.
Download Version 1.5
- vAudit now also checks for login failures, so you can detect if people are trying to hack into your system.
- You can now resize the username column, so you can actually read the username if you have long domain names.
- When you MouseOver a session, it will display the machine name and time information.
In the next release, I will try to add information about your top users, make an export function and at some point will give your a graph with daily concurrent usage.
