Query regarding Hotspot

Harsh,

you can see the Hotspot Authentication under the Authentications logs while the data usage you should refer to Reports.

Let us know what you are looking for and what you have find already.

Thanks

Hi lferrara,

We have checked all the logs on the UI of the appliance and have not found any logs regarding this and when entering any wrong voucher code for the hotspot, we are still not getting any logs in the Shell as well.

When entering the correct code, we are just getting the below logs but wondering that the below logs are relevant or not.

==> syslog.log <==
Jan 10 18:05:55 (none) user.info kernel: [337782.058550] USER ID copy: 0USER ID copy1: 1
Jan 10 18:05:55 (none) user.info kernel: [338848.565897] USER ID: 1USER ID copy: 1

With regards to the Data usage, we will be getting that on the user portal of the Administrative user that we have selected while configuring the Hotspot.

Hi Harsh,

Which type of HotSpot type have you configured? 

Thanks

HI  Harsh , 

Welcome to community . As for the Vouchers reports , You would need to first add your username account as a administrator account to manage and view the Vouchers.  Now you may check the usage under your user portal and check the details of the vouchers used and not used. This would not show which system have used the voucher , after a configuration a Rule shall be created for Hotspot , you may go to reports > RULE ID . This will show all the host address which have connected to your network , this will not show which voucher the system have used . But you may get a general infomation of a system usage when you click on any of the host address traversing through the rule . 

Hi Aditya,

Thanks a lot for the reply. My query is that will we be getting any logs on the appliance itself likewise we are getting the same on the user portal ?

HI Harsh , 

You would not get logs of Web Filter and Application filter per voucher like a user. There would be a Rule created along with the Hotspot and you may check the source address on Reports and Web/app association with the host address. On user portal it would enlist the Vouchers and their utilization details.

Thanks Aditya Patel for your answer. I think Harsh is asking something that was asked even on UTM9 and never implemented:

A way to associate Voucher and User so you can log users and keep logs for long time in case you install XG inside a public place like Hotel where you have to track your users activities.

Anyway Harsh, vote the feature request:

At the moment the feature is missing.
