Log of Redgate Monitor users connecting to the URL

Is there a log or a way to see the usage of Redgate Monitor via the URL?  I would like to cleanup the groups we have setup for access and remove users who have never connected, etc.  I downloaded and checked the RedgateMonitorLogs.zip file and there seems to be a reference to a usage log (in the Redgate.Monitor.WebService.logging.jsonc file under “LevelSwitches”) - Website_Usage.XXXXXXXX.log - which might be it, but I cannot find that file in the .zip file.

    Hi cdbzb,

    Unfortunately, Redgate Monitor is unable to audit the users logging in. This is a feature that has been requested, but unfortunately I have no confirmation on whether this will be implemented.

    Hi,

    Is there a way to view Redgate Monitor usage logs through the URL? I’m working on cleaning up the access groups we’ve set up and would like to identify users who have never logged in or interacted with the system.

    I’ve downloaded and reviewed the RedgateMonitorLogs.zip file. Inside the Redgate.Monitor.WebService.logging.jsonc file (under the LevelSwitches section), there’s a reference to a log called Website_Usage.XXXXXXXX.log, which seems like it might track this kind of activity. However, I wasn’t able to find that specific log file in the ZIP package.

    Is that log stored elsewhere, or is there another way to access user activity data—perhaps directly through the Redgate Monitor interface or a specific URL?

    By the way, while looking into related tools, I came across this site that shares various tech resources—could be useful for general reference as well.

    Thanks in advance!

    Great question — tracking actual URL-level access can definitely help with cleaning up old user groups. I’ve come across similar issues when managing logs. By the way, for anyone handling large log exports or backups, the latest version of this free cloud storage tool has been super helpful. Worth checking out if you’re dealing with big ZIPs like RedgateMonitorLogs.zip!

    Hey! Great question — it makes total sense to want to clean up your Redgate Monitor groups and remove inactive users. From what you described, it does sound like the logs you're after might exist, especially since you saw references like Website_Usage.XXXXXXXX.log in the Redgate.Monitor.WebService.logging.jsonc config.

    However, if that specific usage log file wasn’t in the RedgateMonitorLogs.zip, there’s a chance it either wasn't generated, is stored elsewhere, or needs to be enabled through config settings. You might want to check the machine where Redgate Monitor is installed — specifically under the web service log directories — to see if that usage log exists there.

    Also, if logging levels or file paths are customizable in your Redgate config, it could be worth tweaking those to ensure user access/activity is being captured moving forward.

    And hey, while you're doing all that admin cleanup, if you're looking to relax with something light, check out Yacine TV live sport — it's a handy way to stream sports and other content from your device.
