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.

    The More operation in the Details column is removed from CBH V3.3.42.0 or later versions.

  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.
    • Session recordings can be backed up to OBS buckets. For details, see Configuring OBS Buckets for Remote Log Backup.

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.

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

    To playback a session recording in a compressed package, perform the following steps:

    1. Download the local player tool by referring to Download Center.
    2. Open the local player tool and drag the downloaded package to the playback window.
