Managing Session Videos

After an operation ends, you, the audit administrator, will receive history session records. So, you can audit operation commands on Linux hosts and operations on Windows hosts. You can also generate, download, or delete operation videos for different audit purposes.

Constraints

  • Text and video audit are available for operations performed through a web browser.
  • For O&M operations, file transfer, and database operations through an SSH client, video audit is unavailable.
  • Only valid session logs can be played. Valid session logs start when you initiate a session and end when the last operation is completed.
  • Session videos are cached in the CBH system space. You are advised to move the video to a local computer in a timely manner and clear the system disk space.

Prerequisites

  • You have the management permissions for the History Session module.
  • The OM session has finished.

Generating Session Videos

  1. Log in to the CBH system.
  2. Choose Audit > History Session.

    Figure 1 History Session

  3. In the Operation column of a history session, choose More > Generate Video. The system starts generating a video for the session.

    The task center displays a message indicating that a task is being executed. After the task is finished, a notification is sent to you through the message center indicating that the session video is generated.
    • If the CBH system storage space is abundant, the video duration and size are not limited.
    • If the system storage space is insufficient, the video may fail to be generated.

Downloading a Session Video

After a video is generated, it is cached in the system and occupies the system storage space. To save system storage space, download videos and save them locally.

  1. Log in to the CBH system.
  2. Choose Audit > History Session.

  3. In the Operation column of the history session video you want to download, click Download to download the video in M4V format.

    After the video is downloaded, a notification is sent to you through the message center.

    The total duration and playable duration of a downloaded video file may be different because the logout time and last operation time are different.

    • The total duration starts from the time when a system user logs in to a resource to the time they log out of the resource.
    • The playable duration starts from the time a system user logs in to a resource to the time the last session is complete.

Deleting a Session Video

The generated videos occupy a large amount of system memory. To ensure high availability of the system memory, delete the generated video cache after downloading.

  1. Log in to the CBH system.
  2. Choose Audit > History Session.

  3. Delete a single session video.

    In the Operation column of the history session video you want to delete, choose More > Delete Video to delete a cached session video.

  4. Delete multiple session videos at a time.

    Select one or more history session videos and click Delete Video in the lower left corner of the list to delete them together.
    • After a session video is deleted, a notification is sent to you through the message center.
    • Deleting the generated session videos only releases the videos cached in the system storage space and does not affect the online playback of history sessions.
