If auditing is active you can check for specific entries in COGIPF_ACTION to see who was using FM.

I had a similar question and analyzed the audit-db entries during using FM. Here what is working for me to see that a model was published or metadata was queried:

Hi Michael, this box doesn't have audit db.
In fact, it doesn't have any Cognos services except the FM.

That's why it's challenging to figure out the FM usage.

Hello Suraj,

We have a similar setup and use Citrix Director for that specific purpose. With Citrix Director we are able to produce a trend overview of all people that logged on to Citrix and used FM when and for how long. But you cannot see what they did. For that you would indeed need to look into the content of the Cognos Audit table COGIPF_ACTION.

Hi Han, I got the Citrix usage details.
As for the audit, that's only for activity like package published or update right?
