Session Details
The Sessions interface provides a comprehensive view of all connection activities across your organization. You can monitor active sessions, review past activities, and investigate specific actions taken by users.

​
Sessions Overview

The Sessions page displays a list of all connection activities with key information:
  • User who initiated the session
  • Connection name and type
  • Session ID for reference
  • Timestamp and duration
  • Status indicators
Use the top filters to narrow down sessions:
  • User: Filter by specific team members
  • Connection: View sessions for particular connections
  • Type: Filter by connection type (database, application, etc.)
  • Period: Select a specific time range

Handling Large Results

When an operation returns a value too large for a browser to handle, it can cause the session to crash or freeze. To prevent this, we automatically truncate the preview and provide the full data via a downloadable file.
Important Note on Configuration: If your organization has the “Block Downloads” setting enabled (typically for security reasons), you may run into a situation where:
  • The data is too large to display in-browser
  • The download option is unavailable
Why not just show it in the browser? We prioritize your uptime. If we forced the browser to render these massive values without truncation, it would likely crash your current session, making the product unusable until the session is cleared.
The “Block Downloads” setting is controlled by the DISABLE_SESSIONS_DOWNLOAD environment variable. See Environment Variables for configuration details.
