Can I create a gadget that shows me the count of unique logins per day?

Question

I'd like to know, everyday, how many unique JIRA  users have logged in.  Ideally, this would be via a gadget on my dashboard.

Is this possible?  And if so,  how do I build it?

thanks,

Karla

Hello Carla, there is a number of queries that can help you get started to retrieve the information from the application database, For instance you can retrieve dates of login, login count with this one.

In addition to that you do may have atlassian-jira-security.log that logs this information, along the form:

http-2990-5 anonymous 790x245x1 1pj2kdu 127.0.0.1 /rest/gadget/1.0/login HttpSession created [1pj2kdu]

http-2990-5 admin 790x245x1 1pj2kdu 127.0.0.1 /rest/gadget/1.0/login The user 'admin' has PASSED authentication.

That could be packaged in a plugin, but would require some development time, the guide for assempling a JIRA plugin can be reviewed here.

Hope this helps to get you started.
