 Description   

Selected on 8/31 to better track usage and ROI in RACD. SSO Hub usage is currently logged in syslog but still need to analyze usage.

Goal is to write scripts that can be run by the SSO Hub admin (or anyone else with access to SSO Hub syslogs) to gather interesting usage stats for a period of time (weekly, monthly, annually). Ideas on stats to gather:

  • Number of logins to the SSO Hub during this period
  • Number of unique users who logged in to the SSO Hub during this period
  • Maximum number of simultaneous SSO Hub sessions during this period (to understand load)
  • Number of users who logged in to each SP system via the SSO Hub during this period
    • I don't think this last one is captured in syslogs. Might need to enable Linux process accounting or create a gsissh wrapper script to start tracking this.
