We are currently monitoring active Designer and Perspective sessions through the Gateway web interface and can successfully view details. We would like to determine whether Ignition provides any mechanism to view **historical user activity** for a specific user after the session has ended. Examples of information we are looking for: 1. Historical Designer login/logout records. 2. Historical Perspective session login/logout records. 3. User actions performed within the Designer (project saves, publishes, resource modifications, etc.). 4. User navigation/activity within Perspective sessions. 5. Historical session details (IP address, start time, end time, duration). ---

1-3 and 5 should all be covered by the audit log, you need to set it up though. Perspective navigation is something you would need to setup yourself, but pretty simple. I would add a custom prop on the header bound to the primary view, and on change add a record into the audit log table ---
