I setup agents in our system yesterday and have confirmed that 3 of them have logged in. 1 of the 3 still show "Never Logged In" and 1 of the 3 shows "Logged in 24 hours ago" (but is currently actively logged in").


Is this a known problem or how do we fix this?

We are seeing issues, what are the refresh intervals???

Hey Philippe/Deni,


The "Last logged" time will refresh/update only when the agent logs out and ends the currently active session.


So, if a new agent logs in and never logs out, he will be shown as "Never Logged In". 


Hope this is clear for you. Let me know if you require further assistance.

So to clarify, they have to actually hit the "logout" button in order to reflect last logged in?

Yes, Philippe. That's right.

Thanks. Seems like very odd functionality, but at least I understand it.  Usually, logins timeout or are considered 'closed' after a certain period so that the last logged in reflects (somewhat) accurately.  You could, in this scenario, have an active agent for a year that still would show never logged in.

 Are there any plans to change this functionality? As it is now, it is not very useful.

I agree, this is misleading information and not useful at all.

I'm a bit surprised there has not been more discussion about this issue.

I try to get people to remember to log out, but it's not easy for them to remember this, especially when they're using multiple different services which don't have such a requirement. Clearly the system must know that someone has logged in, I don't understand why this can't just be logged at that time rather than waiting until logout.

I am having to come up with workarounds involving pulling access logs from the SSO provider.
