Is there any way to check for logged in users if you have stats turned  
off.  We disabled stats to improve performance on our production  
xwiki.  I need to restart the tomcat and mysql services, but I can't  
tell if people are logged in.  Any ideas?

Hi Sam,

I'm curious, why do you need to know if people are logged in?

Thanks

Well, I want to make sure our users aren't editing any pages or  
accessing important info while we restart those services.  Our XWiki  
is used quite frequently, we have several different xwiki's used in  
our farm and is accessed by people across the country.  We can send a  
note to users, but it'd be nice to be able to make sure people aren't  
using the XWiki while we restart.

Then you don't need to know which users are logged in, you need to know
who is editing pages, which is different. For that, you can do:

#foreach($userName in $xwiki.search("select distinct lock.userName from
XWikiLock as lock"))
 $userName
#end

This is a crude example, as it will select also stale, uncleaned locks.
You should try to integrate a WHERE condition on the lock.date property.

As about users browsing the wiki without editing, you can't do that
without statistics. The way authentication works now, there is no
information on the server about logged in users, as each request
validates the user (slower, but safer). You could instead do the following:

Edit the logging configuration (as in
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Logging ) and add
the following rule:

log4j.logger.com.xpn.xwiki.user.impl.xwiki.XWikiAuthServiceImpl=info

Now you will see all the authenticated users in the log, you just need
to write a nice shell script that selects what you want, for example:

cat xwiki.log | grep "is authentified" | tail -200 | cut '-d[' -f1,3 |
cut -c1-19,70- | tail -1000

displays the last 1000 authentication lines, along with the date,

cat xwiki.log | grep "is authentified" | cut -d- -f5 | cut '-d ' -f 3 |
tail -1000 | sort | uniq

displays the users from the last 1000 requests.

What we do is put an apache front-end and we don't stop it when we  
restart xwiki. It works fine and we don't loose data AFAIK.

Thanks
