collective.login-monitor 0.2

Introduction

This Plone add-on is based on z3c.saconfig and SQLAlchemy, and can’t provide any new feature to Plone without a propert configuration.

Keep reading for installation and configuration guide.

How to use

After the installation, any login done in your Plone will save to an external database an entry that store:

• user id

• a timestamp

Then a new configuration panel can bhe found in the site configuration: “Monitor user logins”.

From this view you can query the database previously populated:

You must limit the search inside a rande of dates, and optionally limiting users to members of a group. Results of the table displayed can be export to a CSV file.

Installation and configuration

You must configure an access to an external DBMS. The name of the engine used must be plone_logins.

Follow an example based on sqlite (not advised for production environment).

Add rt.lastmodifier to your buildout, then provide a SQLAlchemy connection string:

[buildout]
...

[instance]
...
eggs=
   ...
   collective.login_monitor

zcml-additional =
    ...
    <configure xmlns="http://namespaces.zope.org/zope"
              xmlns:db="http://namespaces.zope.org/db">
       <include package="z3c.saconfig" file="meta.zcml" />
       <db:engine name="plone_logins"
                  url="sqlite:///${buildout:directory}/var/filestorage/plone_logins.db"
                  setup="collective.login_monitor.prepare_model.prepare"
                  />
       <db:session name="plone_logins" engine="plone_logins" />
   </configure>
