Video recording

I can't find Video recording in the UI and documentation. I would love to see a screenshot or visualization of Video session recordings / audits.

The video recording is available when you connect in the gateway via "hoop connect" with command line connections.
In order to test it, follow the instructions below:

Setup and Create

hoop config create --api-url https://your-hoop-instance
hoop login
hoop admin create conn bash -a <your-agent> -- bash

Test it

hoop connect bash

Execute some commands and then close the session (exit). You'll be able to see the video in the UI after that.

@sandromello wow, great, many thanks! Don't know that, I use connection via UI and get text recording only.

@sandromello one more question. as I understand only ssh/shell connections are recorded. The database and tcp connections only create a tunnel between Hoop agent and the target, allow user to connect using 3rd app (DBeaver for database connection for e.x) and Hoop isn't able to record this kind of action. Do I understand it correctly? Are there any ways to record the database/tcp connection?

The database is audited, however it show a log with the queries that were executed in the database.
The logs of the session will only appear after you disconnect the client.

The Postgres has a partial support to audit when the client is using the Extended Query Protocol with "hoop connect". In order to audit it properly, make sure to change the driver setting preferQueryMode to simple in your IDE.
