JSClientInformation

Overview

This module provides information about connected clients within the system. It allows access to client-related details, including application type, client identifiers, host information, user details, and session timings. This utility is particularly useful for monitoring and managing client connections effectively.

Client Information Access

The available methods offer granular details for each client. These include the type of application the client is using, the unique client ID, and timestamps such as login and idle times. Additionally, it retrieves the solution currently open, the user’s host address, and user-specific information like name and ID. Deprecated methods like getClientId and getUserUid are still available for backward compatibility.

The module also supports features specific to NGClients, such as fetching the last accessed time and the status line. This makes it a comprehensive tool for administrators to understand client behavior and manage application usage.
