There are a number of internet tracking applications out there that will
track the ammount of time connected to a given URL. I believe some proxies
can be configured to do this as well. Have fun parsing those logs... I
wouldn't want to do it. Sessionwall from SSi will do this and much much
more... Sessionwall will even capture packet traffic and re-assemble it so
that you can see everything someone does on your network. And I do mean
everything. But it IS cost heavy. Then again, presenting said managers with
a quote for Sessionwall might make them realize that this is something they
don't want to do :^)

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Application monitor/Internet tracking?
We have a few users who's managers 'think' they are spending a lot of time
surf the web. They want to be able to see the amount of time the users are
using IE. Since our proxy only tells them what pages they go to it doesn't
say how long they spent reading that page.
Your right, but the managers are asking for it.

What are you hoping to accomplish with this? Find out which people are
being unproductive? Find out how much company time is being wasted? Just
curious. I think you are going to find that what you are wanting to do is
really something that you don't want to do. If you know what I mean.

Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: Application monitor/Internet tracking?
I'm looking for a way to monitor how long IE is open. Software that could
monitor how long a program is the active window would work.
We are trying to track how much time a user spends using the internet. We
have a proxy setup but that only tells how much data was downloaded and
which pages the user visited. It doesn't tell us how long they spent reading
the page.
My idea was to find a tool to record how long IE is the active window, this
would give a better idea of internet usage.
If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful.
Thanks,jb
