Documentation forUser Device Tracker
Monitoring users, devices, and ports is a key capability of Hybrid Cloud Observability and is also available in a standalone module, User Device Tracker (UDT). Hybrid Cloud Observability and UDT are built on the self-hosted SolarWinds Platform.

Add Active Directory Controllers and users

UDT can track user activity by reading the Active Directory domain controller event log.

Before you can add an Active Directory domain controller and begin tracking the user accounts associated with it, you must first create credentials for UDT to interact with it. UDT requires Event Log Reader permission on each Active Directory controller.

The following topics describe the process of adding an Active Directory domain controller to UDT, and using it to track the activity of Active Domain associated users on your network.
