Idle Timeout

Automatically log out users after a defined period of inactivity to improve session security and prevent unauthorised access on unattended workstations.

Overview

The Idle Timeout feature in Cloudmon automatically ends a user's session if they have not interacted with the controller for a specified duration. This prevents unauthorised access if a user leaves their workstation unattended while still logged in to Cloudmon. Idle timeout is configured per user account and can be enabled or disabled independently for each user.

Enabling Idle Timeout

  1. Click your user profile icon.
  2. Select Edit Profile.
  3. Enable Logout user on idle timeout.
  4. Select the required idle timeout duration from the dropdown.
  5. Click Save.

Idle timeout can also be configured by an administrator when creating or editing a user account under Settings → General Settings → User Management → User Accounts. The Logout User On Idle Timeout toggle and the Idle Timeout duration field are both available in the user account form.
