Info

This guide shows how to manage sessions in Tomcat, but it should be similar in other server software.

General Description

Use the screen in Tomcat Web Application Manager shown below to monitor and invalidate sessions in your VetView System. In addition to using Tomcat, you can also use the built-in VetView monitoring, Java Melody by appending "/monitoring" onto your root VetView URL. Ex. vetview.vet.uga.edu/monitoring

Session Monitoring and Invalidation (Tomcat)

VetView allows for session monitoring and invalidation on Tomcat installations.  This can be useful for logging out a user who has encountered an error, seeing the local connections on a specific machine, or for testing and troubleshooting purposes, ensuring a user is on the most recent installation of VetView.

Log In to Tomcat Manager

You will need the username and password of the Tomcat installation, and the URL for the manager.  For most installations, this will be the IP Address of the machine where VetView is installed, and then /manager.html on the end of the IP address.

Tomcat Web Application Manager

Once you have logged in, you will see a list of any VetView builds (on development and test machines there may be multiple deployments at once), and the different VetView applications.

Invalidate Sessions

To kick a user from a specific session, select the user by checking the box above the session ID, and click on Invalidate Selected Sessions.  This will log the user out of VetView, and they will log in to the most recent deployment next time they access the main VetView log in page.
