Include WHAT in the exported

[krisla]

Hello,

Is it possible to include WHAT from w command in metric what_user_sessions_currently_active
Currently, I'm only seeing the user.

It would be very nice if we can parse results from column WHAT, so we can trace remote SSH sessions from given bastion host:

USER     TTY      FROM             LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT
user     pts/3    0.0.0.0 14:53    2:19   0.03s  0.00s ssh user@server.example.com

Kind regards,

Hi @krisla sounds like a good idea. Currently the exported metric is the sum of sessions of each user. We'd probably have to add another metric then if we want to know more about each users sessions. What do you think?

Sure, as long as it's possible since I'm not proficient in GO language.
I'm currently trying to implement a solution with Bash/PushGateway and I'm stuck on creating the metric as no value is needed just the current records matching remote sessions.
