Any way to monitor web access of /admin and Dashboard?

[Jéan Roux]

Not sure I have seen this documented, or anyone asking before.... sorry if covered already.

Can one, and which log file tracks access to /admin and /ui of node-red, and what uid's were used to access it & time of access?

[Nick O'Leary]

Hi,

if by /admin you mean the editor, then you can enable the 'audit' log setting. That will log messages for each interaction with the admin api - it includes ip address of the request and, if adminAuth is enabled, the user name. Not sure what you mean by uid in this context.

There is no access log for the general http routes (ie HTTP In nodes and dashboard etc).

Though you would be able to do something basic by using the middleware function in settings.

Thanks Nick, yes, sorry, by /admin I meant setting editor in httpAdminRoot. With uid, I meant setting access to dashboard via httpNodeAuth. My real requirement is to see when users hit the dashboard, so per your mail, this is not done in any api yet. 

Thanks Julian, will scratch around in middleware. 

Anybody else any ideas?

if "just" the dashboard... you can use the ui_control node - that will report connections and disconnections and the socket ID and IP address... easy enough to add timestamp - but it won't have userid, and is only connect and disconnect - not every click.

[Paul Reed]

You could write the output to a file node to create a log...

```[{"id":"ef6ff7e1.611718","type":"ui_ui_control","z":"a444a9ff.e7a408","name":"ui control","x":90,"y":1906,"wires":[["c0180ecd.0537d"]]},{"id":"c0180ecd.0537d","type":"function","z":"a444a9ff.e7a408","name":"","func":"var ipa = msg.socketip;\nvar stat = msg.payload;\nmsg.payload = (ipa+\" - \"+stat);\nreturn msg;","outputs":1,"noerr":0,"x":242,"y":1906,"wires":[["e44e655b.0df508"]]},{"id":"e44e655b.0df508","type":"debug","z":"a444a9ff.e7a408","name":"","active":true,"console":"false","complete":"false","x":405,"y":1906,"wires":[]},{"id":"43f459e7.86eb88","type":"comment","z":"a444a9ff.e7a408","name":"UI IP access log","info":"","x":104,"y":1860,"wires":[]}]```
