Q | How can I find out when databases were accessed last? |
|---|
A | By using databaseEZ's built-in User Activity Analyzer tool, you can retrieve a full report of who accessed which databases, and when. |
|---|
Before you begin:
Because only those databases that have user activity recorded can have their user activity analyzed, verify the recorded user activity settings on your databases.
- With your databases loaded in the Main grid panel and the full database information loaded, make sure that the column 'User Activity – Is Recorded' is visible in the grid; if it isn't, show the column via the Grid Manager.
- Group your grid entries by this column.
- Only databases that display as Checked (User Activity is Recorded) will have the recorded user activity information necessary to use the User Activity Analyzer.

Using the User Activity Analyzer
| Step 1 Select the desired databases to analyze.
Step 2 Select the 'Tools > User Activity > User Activity Analyzer…' menu option. |
|---|
| Step 3 Set the Date-Time Range Filter. For this example, 'Include everything' is set.
Step 4 Click 'OK' |
|---|
| Step 5 Go to the 'User Activity' panel by clicking on its tab. If this is not visible, activate it in the 'Panels' top menu.
Step 6 Group the 'User Activity' grid data by the column 'Database Title'.
Step 7 Sort the grid by the column 'Date/Time', and then perform another grouping using this same column. |

You will now see a breakdown of all analyzed databases as well as the dates and times they were accessed. You will also find information about the user who accessed the database within each Date/Time entry.
