Using the session management dashboard in Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser

Use the session management dashboard on your WorkSpaces Secure Browser console to monitor and manage active and complete sessions.

Dashboard access

To access the dashboard, follow these steps.

To access the dashboard
  1. Open the WorkSpaces Secure Browser console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/workspaces-web/home?region=us-east-1#/.

  2. Choose WorkSpaces Secure Browser, Web portals, and choose your web portal.

  3. Choose the Session tab or choose View sessions to open the dashboard in a split panel below.

Dashboard filters

In the sessions panel, you can filter sessions by the following properties or values:

  • Status

    • Active – Indicates a session is currently running. To terminate the session, see below.

    • Terminated – Indicates a session is no longer active.

  • Session ID

  • Username

  • Session start time

Terminate sessions

To terminate a session, follow these steps.

To terminate a session
  1. On the sessions dashboard, select the session you want to stop.

  2. Choose Terminate.

  3. Disconnected users lose all state from the session. All open tabs, browser history, and files downloaded to the secure browser are recycled.

Session history

The dashboard contains sessions from the last 35 days. You can use the CLI to list sessions, with or without a filter. The session history is delivered as JSON, which administrators can process, manage, and store in a separate repository.

The following are sample CLI commands for managing sessions in the US-West-2 (Oregon) region.

To list all sessions for a web portal, run the following command:

aws workspaces-web list-sessions --portal-arn arn:aws:workspaces-web:us-west-2:<accountId>:portal/<portalId>

To list all sessions for a specific user of a web portal, run the following command:

aws workspaces-web list-sessions --portal-arn arn:aws:workspaces-web:us-west-2:<accountId>:portal/<portalId> --username <username>
