Hi Ammar,

It depends what you’re using by way of the servlet container (i.e. Jetty, Tomcat etc.), and what the logging level is at. GeoServer itself doesn’t keep that sort of logs.

User logging may happen at that level (although it typically requires going through the servlet security component, which I don’t think GeoServer does by standard).

I’m (slowly) working on a log-viewer tool for OGC services including WMS, which I’ll open source at some point. It’s designed for viewing aggregated data (how many people looked at which layer; what clients are used, what layers get queries most, etc.), rather than a specific user. If you’re interested, get back to me and I’ll point you to the prototype.

Alternately if you’re looking for a specific user, you’re best looking in the logs manually.

Cheers,

Jonathan

Hello all,

Is it possible to know which WMS service has been accessed and by which user in GeoServer? I have GeoServer 2.4.1 installed on Windows Server 2008.

Best regards,

Ammar

Hi Jonathan, you should have a look at the monitoring extension, and in
particular at the "audit mode", which
allows you to log to file whatever request comes in, along with the user

Hi Andrea,

Thanks for the information, that’s interesting and not something I knew; I tried the monitoring extension quite a while ago but don’t recall an audit mode; in fact I’m sure it wasn’t as comprehensive in function last time I looked, but that was 2 years ago.

Unfortunately I don’t have a GeoServer install to play with any more, I don’t suppose you happen to have any sample logs to hand that you can send me so I could try parsing them in my logging thing (I see in the docs they’re XML! :-S )?

Thanks,

Jonathan

I don't have any handy, but the thing is driven by a Freemarker template,
so you can do XML, CSV, JSON, and pretty much whatever other text format
you want
