Release:

Arvados 2.5.0

Auto

Description

The goal is to report which users are actively using the cluster (e.g. Playground).

Proposed logging feature:

Add config entry for user activity logging period (default 24h)
Whenever a token is issued by the /login endpoint or a token is used in a /collections or /container_requests API request, create a log entry with event_type="activity", object_uuid=user_uuid
A given controller process creates no more than one log entry per user per activity logging period

This limits the number of log entries per period to #users x #controllers x #controller restarts.

19388-activity-logs @ edc70abe9c05ff9a4ce90ce4c6c271223142c5e5 -- developer-run-tests: #3306

Whenever a token is issued by the /login endpoint or a token is used in a /collections or /container_requests API request ...

I think the /login part of this isn't really worthwhile. It wouldn't always trigger (e.g., login on a different cluster, or use OIDC token as an Arvados token), and isn't needed to detect interactive usage anyway (if the user hits the login endpoint but doesn't open a workbench page, is that really the kind of activity we're trying to report?).

I did hook group APIs, though -- I expect it's not possible to load any wb2 page without listing [contents of] any projects, so this pretty much guarantees any wb2 activity will be logged.
