User Login - Perspectives or PAx or PAW or Contributor

Hi,
I am trying to get how our users are consuming TM1 data. I want to know how many used which client tool (Perspectives or PAx or PAW or Contributor) and when they last logged into them. I have transaction log that gives us info of last login, but does not give us which client they used. Is there a way to get that info?
We are using PA-2.0.9.
PAx and PAW both are version 54.

Can someone help me how to get the info?

Thanks,
Paul.

Not really, all you have is tm1login.log file which captures all logins from all client software.
The only thing I did is dig up the log file from PAW to know the client is on that platform.

Tm1top and it’s logging reincarnation captures application context that tells you whether it’s tm1web or tm1application (contributor). For Pax vs Perspectives you can look at thread id: old api generated long numeric thread ids and rest api starts from quite low numbers and also has the : in it

Here’s how to configure top logging:

Thanks Macsir and Ykud for responding.
Macsir, your idea of "log4j.logger.TM1.Login=DEBUG, LOCK" is good for future. I will get that added and it will be helpful in the future.

Ykud, I will try this method for future. I do not keep these log files for a long time.

Thanks,
Paul.
