ARS Vigilo Sessions records every user login and logout on your site and surfaces that information in an easy-to-read admin dashboard. Features include:
- Last login, first login, and total login count per user, shown on the Users list and on each user’s profile screen.
- Full session history with login/logout time, duration, IP address, browser, and operating system.
- Optional IP geolocation (city, region, country, and map view of recent logins).
- Optional idle-timeout auto-logout, with a configurable warning before forced logout.
- “Currently active users” widget on the dashboard.
- CSV export of session history.
- REST API endpoints for integrating session data with other tools.
- Scheduled daily cleanup of old session records, with a configurable retention period.
Privacy notice
This plugin stores IP addresses, browser/OS strings, and (if geolocation is enabled) approximate location data tied to user accounts, in order to provide its tracking features. Site owners should disclose this in their privacy policy. All of this data is permanently removed when the plugin is deleted (see “Data removal” below), unless you opt out.
Third-party services
IP geolocation is off by default. If you turn it on in ARS Vigilo Sessions > Settings, the plugin sends a visitor’s login IP address to one of the following external services in order to look up an approximate location:
- ip-api.com — used automatically when no API key is configured. See their terms of use.
- ipinfo.io — used when you supply an ipinfo.io access token in Settings. See their privacy policy.
- ip-geolocation.io — used when you supply an ip-geolocation.io API key in Settings. See their privacy policy.
No other data (page views, form submissions, content, etc.) is ever sent off-site, and no lookup occurs unless geolocation is explicitly enabled.
