10:56 * Dyrcona wonders why there are multiple successful logins for a user within seconds of each other in the logs.
10:57 Dyrcona Two on the same brick within 11 seconds with the same parameters and different authtokens.
11:04 Dyrcona Five logins in 6 minutes.
11:48 Dyrcona It takes a long time to grep the logs.

12:33 Dyrcona So far, it looks like most of these logins do nothing. Does Evegreen create a new session for each tab? What about with an Incognito window?
12:35 Dyrcona Ok, this token has actually been used to do something.
12:37 Dyrcona I suppose I can test the incognito window theory by logging in myself.
12:41 Dyrcona Two or three of the five logins have been doing things, so it must be related to tabs?
12:42 Dyrcona So, I logged in with a regular window and opened a couple of tabs.
12:43 Dyrcona Only 1 login sessions for me.
12:47 Dyrcona OK. With an Incognito window, new tabs do not create new login sessions. I have 1 login with no workstation, and then 1 login after I registered a workstation and logged back in to use it ("Use Now" button).
12:49 Dyrcona Logging out logs out all tabs in the Incognito window. So, I guess I have to ask this staff person what they're doing. Multiple browsers?
14:49 Dyrcona **PARAM REDACTED** isn't very useful, but I guess that's the point. :)
15:10 csharp_ Dyrcona: activity (ACT) entries may help?
15:12 Dyrcona csharp_: yeah, I started from activity log and wanted to see if I could find the gateway entries. I suppose that I could match on timestamps if I get desperate.
15:12 csharp_ ah, I see
15:13 Dyrcona I am convinced this is something in this use's browser, an extension maybe. I'm looking at another cataloger's session and there's 1 log in and similar backed activity.
15:14 csharp_ yeah, could be some sort of browser side container
15:14 Dyrcona The user in question also has a session open on the dev system, and that looks more normal. I'm also pretty that the logins without workstations are coming from Aspen.
15:15 Dyrcona This all started because they reported getting logged out early.
15:16 Dyrcona The user says that they only log in to Evergreen once, but the logs disagree.
15:16 Dyrcona Something is gong on somewhere.
15:19 Dyrcona Suppose I can search for session.delete for their authtokens from earlier in the week. Though delete may not always fire, right, if the session expires in memcached.
15:33 Dyrcona So, I'm thinking it's an ad blocker isolating the tabs somehow coupled with the password manager set to autologin. I'll ask the user to check these settings.
15:38 Dyrcona I probably won't know anything until Monday given the hour.
15:59 Dyrcona Back to the thing I was talking about earlier this week with Redis and action-trigger events: It's definitely the parallel settings and not Redis causing the problem. I've been running the events with parallel off and Redis with no issues.
16:01 Dyrcona My SQL to find bad events doesn't find any on the test databases, and the events did run.
16:09 Dyrcona Well, so much for the password manager idea. User says that they don't use one.
