Hopefully this is a simple request…I would like to monitor not only if the computer is online(ping) but if the user is actually working/using the PC.
I was thinking of monitoring the login status if possible but any other suggestion would be great. All I need to know is activity.
Any suggestions…great program!
Sorry, can’t be done. Such info is not available through SNMP.
Just to clarify is nothing possible or is the monitoring the login not available through SNMP.
The login option was just a suggestion. We have a number of users who leave the computer on but are not at work.
SNMP does not provide any info on the currently logged in user, nor whether or not the computer is idling, running a screensaver, whatever. You can monitor things like number of running processes, CPU utilization, etc, but those things don’t say much about whether or not someone is actively using the computer.
IFAIK what you want cannot be done through SNMP (and thus not through The Dude).
Thank you very much, your clear explanation is very much appreciated.
