Member logging is a feature in NATS4 that allows you to direct NATS to keep a record of all member logins. To use this feature, send a HTTP GET request from your server to the PHP script: member_loginlog.php with your selected site's ID number and the member's username. This will return of a log of that particular member's login history.

For example, you can add the following code to a PHP script and then run it: 

$url="http://www.example.com/member_loginlog.php?username=$_SERVER[REMOTE_USER]&siteid=123&ip=$_SERVER[REMOTE_ADDR]";

@file($url);

These logs are a secure feature in NATS. As a result, the IP address of the server that is requesting information must be in the Smarty configuration file $config['SECURE_IPS'] setting.

For example: 

$config['SECURE_IPS'] = Array('123.123.123.123');

Simply replace "123.123.123.123" in the above example code with your server's IP address.

After this feature is activated, the specified member's login history will show up in the Members Admin's members details.

To find the member's login log, go to the Members Admin, find the member you are tracking, and click the "View Member Details" icon. Scroll down to the bottom of the Member Details page to find the Login Log for your specified member.
