When do you expect Session_End to fire? It does NOT fire
when the user "leaves the site" or closes the browser.
It does fire when the user has not done anything on the site
for (default) 20 minutes.
I did see a message somewhere that you need to store something
in the session (have a "real" session) or else it will not fire.

Hi
I need to see all active sessions
if someone closes browser in any way , closing, leaving etc.
I wanna know that
Session_start tells me if some one comes in
but I cannot determine if someone leaved it!
Session_end fires after 20 minutes
not good for me :-(

HTTP is essentially stateless. Possible options would be :
- when the browser closes call some server side code
- keep track of last request, you can then assume whatever delay you want
for inactive users.

Unless you need something more specific I would starrt by checking
performance counters...

Keep in mind anyway that there's nothing allowing to know the guy just
pointed your browser to your site and then goes to lunch so you'll always
have to take these numbers as an estimation, roughly correct but an
estimation.

You'll see possible options at :
