I have been asked to create numerous projects and have done so but i would like to know if the projects are actually being used. Is there a log any where on the gateway that shows both historical and active sessions. I know where the active sessions are shown but was curious, is there a usage history by user?

No, we don’t keep track of such information automatically. You could add your own bookkeeping in a session startup script, or run a `system.perspective.getSessionInfo()` periodically, or something.

Wouldn’t the audit log be able to handle that? Not for current sessions, but to see total logins.
