The Sessions interface provides a comprehensive view of all connection activities across your organization. You can monitor active sessions, review past activities, and investigate specific actions taken by users.

## Sessions Overview

The Sessions page displays a list of all connection activities with key information:

* User who initiated the session
* Connection name and type
* Session ID for reference
* Timestamp and duration
* Status indicators

### Filtering and Search

Use the top filters to narrow down sessions:

* **User**: Filter by specific team members
* **Connection**: View sessions for particular connections
* **Type**: Filter by connection type (database, application, etc.)
* **Period**: Select a specific time range
