The Users dashboard provides a visual representation of client sessions within a Servoy cloud environment, along with detailed insights into active sessions. It provides both a chart view of the session count and session-specific actions.
The "User Sessions Over Time" section features a chart displaying the number of user/client sessions over a selected time period. The data can be filtered using the available options for a customized view. You can also hide the chart to focus on other parts of the page.
The Active User Sessions overview offers easy monitoring and management of user sessions within a Servoy cloud environment, ensuring both real-time insights and control over session activity.
Each active session is represented by a user card that contains the following information:
Username/Client Type: Displays the username if logged in, or the client type if not. If the session belongs to a Servoy Headless Client, it will display "Servoy Headless Client."
"Not signed in" badge: Emphasizes the difference between logged in clients and those still on the login page
Avatar: The user’s avatar from Gravatar is shown. For Servoy Headless Clients, the Servoy logo is displayed.
Solution: The Servoy solution being used (e.g., svyCloudSampleSolution).
Server: The server hosting the user session (e.g., dev-cloudSampleSolution-0-0).
Session Status: Indicates whether the user is online (green dot) or idle (yellow dot).
Last Active Timestamp: Shows the last time the user was active
Each active session has a detailed screen that provides in-depth information and management options for the user or client session. You can access this detail page by clicking on the respective user card from the Active User Sessions overview.
The user detail page is divided into the following main sections:
User Details
Additional Info
Locks
Transactions
Query Performance
Log activity
App. Performance
Actions
This section provides key information about the active session, including:
Solution Name: The Servoy solution currently being used in the session (e.g., svyCloudSampleSolution).
Server Name: The server hosting the active session (e.g., dev-cloudSampleSolution-0-0).
Client Type: The type of client being used (e.g., Servoy NG Client, Servoy Headless Client etc.).
Session Status: Indicates whether the user is online (green dot) or idle (yellow dot) along with the last active timestamp
IP Address: The IP address of the user
Client UUID: A unique identifier assigned to the client session
The Additional Info tab contains a read-only table displaying user-specific properties that are defined programmatically from within the Servoy Application. Some properties may be, but not limited to:
Default:
User Agent: The browser or client information (e.g., Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/129.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/129.0.0.0).
Platform: The operating system (e.g., Win32).
Locale: The language and region setting (e.g., en_US).
Session Key: A unique key used to identify the session (e.g., 2B6980B:2).
Custom additional information can be added by using:
This data is typically used for troubleshooting or auditing purposes and is displayed in a table format for easy review.
The Locks tab displays a read-only table listing all locks acquired by the user during their session. This can be useful for tracking locked resources and debugging potential issues. Each lock entry includes the following details:
Table Name: The name of the database table where the lock was acquired.
Server Name: The server on which the lock was acquired.
Key Locked: The specific key or record that is locked.
Start Time: The timestamp when the lock was acquired.
This tab helps monitor resource access and ensure that locks are released properly to avoid conflicts.
The Transactions tab shows a read-only table of transactions started by the user. This information is crucial for managing database interactions and ensuring transactional integrity. Each transaction entry includes:
Transaction ID: A unique identifier for the transaction.
Server Name: The server where the transaction is taking place.
Start Time: The timestamp when the transaction was initiated.
Last Accessed: The most recent time the transaction was accessed or modified.
This section helps in tracking open transactions, diagnosing any potential issues, and ensuring that long-running transactions do not negatively impact performance.
The Query Performance tab provides insights into the execution time and details of SQL queries run in the environment. This feature helps identify slow-performing queries and optimize database performance.
Date: Displays the timestamp when the query was executed.
Time (ms): Indicates the query's execution duration in milliseconds, highlighting performance bottlenecks.
DB Name: Specifies the database where the query was executed.
Query Type: Categorizes the query (e.g., Custom, System).

SQL Action: Displays the SQL query. Long queries are truncated, with an option to expand for full details.
The Log Activity tab provides a detailed record of system and user-generated logs, enabling efficient monitoring and debugging. Each log entry is categorized by severity and includes key metadata for analysis.
Columns Explained:
Date: Displays the timestamp when the log was generated.
Level: Categorizes the log severity, such as:
WARN: Indicates potential issues that may require attention.
INFO: General information about system activity.
ERROR: Highlights critical problems that need immediate resolution.
