I've noticed that security Auditing does not track perspective authentication events. Is this the intended behavior or is there a configuration issue? I am using Version: 8.1.25 (b2023021409)

Hi @Eric_Fredericksen, welcome to the forums!

Perspective Authentication should be logged to the audit profile. Have you enabled auditing and selected an audit profile for the project that's being logged into?

This is my setup but the perspective session login/logouts are not being captured. Just designer and gateway events. Any Ideas?

Nothing in that configuration stands out as incorrect. Have any changes been made since the last time the project was saved? Any errors in the logs?

I tested with an inherited project like you have and I'm seeing my login/logout attempts in the audit log. Granted, I am using the latest version, but I don't see any related changes since 8.1.25.
