S4B Session Details - Report

within S4B Asmin center - Reports there is the public preview of Session Details.

is there a way to access this via API ? If not, any chance to get this ? :)

 

I need to retrieve for reporting purpose detailed S4B activity where start/end time of EVERY Skype session is included. --> the default Skype Usage Reports are nice but they don't really help me because they give just an overall picture

    is there a way to run this cmdlet without using a username ?

     

    my aim is to retrieve ALL users sessions from the last 15minutes

    At the moment i take all users from the directory and run this PS with each of the users (automatically)

    disadvantage is that i execute this for every user although plenty of users do not show activity in sfb.

     

    is there a way ?

      i will try my luck again.

       

      I need to find a way to retrieve SfB User Sessions on a regular basis (example:  get all sfB user sessions from the last 15min)

      The current cmdlet "Get-CsUserSession" does not help here that much because i need to provide a username for each cmdlet call ,  in order to get to the stats

      --> if i would pull for thousands of users SfB user sessions for the last 15min, the cmdlet would run ages

       

      I really hope that there is a possibility ..somehow

       

      IS there a way for SfB - new Backend via MS Teams - to get to this data ?  i haven't seen/found any single way even for the new SfB backend :(((

      If yes, i would skip the old cmdlet way and would pull only the new SfB backend

       

      thank you

      the PowerShell cmdlet is nice, but i would like to use API calls instead PowerShell calls.

       

      the cmdlet would give me exactly the information i was looking for.

      So i believe there is a way to get to this data via API (i mean, MS is offering "session details" in the UI but doesn't provide this data via an API ?? )

       

      i'm wondering how 3rd Party monitoring tools are doing this. I mean are these tools utilizing just PowerShell cmdlets and pull the data into their monitoring/reporting tool ?

       

      it would be great to get more details :)

      thx

        Last time I asked, API was in the works. Perhaps we're close to release now, or at least some Preview...
