SSH logging?

Good morning!

Running R81.20

 

What is the best practice for monitoring and logging SSH sessions to our Security Gateways / SMS?

I'd like to be able to see a daily report for all sessions and what was done during the session if possible.

 

Thank you!

I connected with WinSCP first and then started Putty (shown log entry).

WHat was done is visible in Legacy SVTracker:

Hi @Joe_Kanaszka 

I think you should use 3rd party solution for this.

I was looking at the R82 smart event I have in my lab, but did not see anything specific for ssh logins.

Maybe the parsing the /var/log/messages -> the logins are logged.
