Over-the-shoulder monitoring (Live recording)

Over-the-shoulder monitoring (Live recording)

FortiPAM allows administrators to monitor the user session and actions in real-time.

Prerequisites:
  • Fortinet Privileged Access Agent 7.2.3 or above is required to support over-the-shoulder monitoring.

  • When you launch a secret with Session Recording enabled, and given that Live Recording is enabled in the Advanced tab in System > Settings, you can monitor the user session in real-time.

    To ensure seamless real-time video recording and transmission to FortiPAM, consider the following system resource guidelines for launching multiple concurrent sessions:

    • CPU: 8 logical processors

    • Memory: 16 GB

To monitor the user secret session in real-time:
  1. Go to Monitoring > Active Sessions.
  2. Select the secret session and click Monitor.

    Secret sessions with a red video recording icon are ready to be live-streamed.

    A new window opens. The window displays user activity in real-time.

You can terminate an active session by clicking Disconnect the current secret session icon on the top-right as you live stream the session.
