==== Concurrent users ====

=== Purpose ===
On a BusinessObjects system, the number of concurrent user sessions can be used as an indicator when performance problems are experienced. <br/> The same user can be logged multiple times or never logged out, consumming unnecessary ressources. <br/>
This monitor will check the number of concurrent sessions and can generate alerts if the overall number is too high, or if one user has too many sessions.
=== Configuration hints ===

Use the button "Load users" to get the list of the users defined in your system.<br/>
Then use the filters to set rules based on a specific user or the overall number.
=== Atomic fields ===
^Max concurrent sessions per user|A threshold of allowed concurrent sessions per user|
^Severity|The severity of the alarm sent if the threshold is breached|

=== Surveillance table ===

^Parameter^Description^
^Active|If checked, the rule will be active.|
^User|The list of users concerned by this rule. To configure a rule for all the users use the character '*'|
^Threshold|Number of sessions allowed for the users concerned by this rule|
^Aggregates|If active, the threshold will be comprared to the total number of user sessions. Otherwise, compare the ones of each individual user.|
^Severity|The severity of the alarm sent if the threshold is breached|
^Auto clear|If checked, the alarm will be cleared as soon as the alarm condition is not met anymore.|
^Alarm tag|This field allows to add custom text within the alarm message. %MSG% variable will contain the actual generated message and can be used such as: "my_prefix %MSG% my_suffix". By default, tag will be used as prefix.|
^Alarm|If checked, this line of surveillance will be used for alarm generation.|
^Metric|If checked, this line of surveillance will be used for metric generation.|
=== Examples ===

|true|*|80|true|CRITICAL|true| |true|true|

**Effect** : An alarm will be generated if the number of sessions in your system reaches more than 80 sessions. Moreover, a metric with the number of sessions per user will be sent
