How to monitor user input?

  • My boss just came to me and asked if there is a way to monitor the data input by an individual user based on their log in? He did say he didn't want to monitor keystrokes, but actual data that goes into the db by this user.

    I assume there is a way. So does anyone know of an application or program that will allow us to monitor different users input, each person individually whether one person at a time, or each person in a group?

    Thanks for your help...

  • Probably the easiest would be to set up a profiler trace filtered on the particular user.

  • Does the profile trace monitor user input?

  • Profiler monitors all activity on the server, so all queries (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE). If each user connect with their own login, then this will work. If they share a login or the machine is shared (like a web app), this may not work.

    There are key loggers out there or if you can alter the application, you can log input.

    It might help if you better explain the app and what input you mean?
