Session recording as an audit trail.

SSH, RDP and VNC sessions are recorded automatically and can be replayed later in the browser — for a complete audit trail for auditing and compliance, together with the audit log and RBAC and with no client installation.

Anyone granting administrative access to servers and workstations has to be able to prove at any time what actually happened in a session. Termiverse records every connection automatically: SSH sessions are captured as a replayable recording — including all input and output — while RDP and VNC sessions run through guacd and are stored just the same as a screen recording. Playback then happens directly in the browser, with no separate player, export tool or local installation. Every recording is linked to the audit log, which logs who connected to which target and when, and role-based access control (RBAC) determines who may start sessions and who may view stored recordings. This creates a complete, tamper-evident audit trail that documents reliably what happened during internal and external audits, four-eyes approvals and break-glass access — without administrators having to operate any extra tools.

How it works

Every session traceable

SSH recorded for replay

SSH sessions are captured in full and can be replayed in the browser like a video — with every command entered and the matching output. Fast-forward and rewind make even long maintenance sessions quick to review, so every single step remains clearly traceable afterwards.

RDP & VNC via guacd

Graphical sessions to RDP and VNC targets run through guacd and are captured as a recording. Playback shows the full screen activity of the session, so actions in graphical interfaces stay traceable too — in the same browser window as the SSH recordings.

Audit log & RBAC

Every recording is firmly linked to the audit log: who connected from where to which target and when. Role-based access control (RBAC) separately governs who may establish sessions and who may view the stored recordings — keeping access and review cleanly separated.

Benefits

A reliable trail for audit & compliance

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are SSH sessions really recorded in full?
Yes. SSH sessions are captured in full and can be replayed as a recording in the browser. Because both input and output are captured, every command executed is clearly traceable afterwards.
How are RDP and VNC sessions recorded?
Graphical RDP and VNC sessions run through guacd and are recorded automatically in the process. Playback shows the full screen activity of the session directly in the browser — with no extra tool to install.
Do I need a player or a client installation?
No. Both the sessions themselves and the playback of recordings run entirely in the browser. No local software, no plugin and no separate player is needed.
Do the recordings work as an audit trail?
Yes. Together with the audit log (who, when, on what) and RBAC, the recordings form a complete, tamper-evident audit trail — for example as evidence for four-eyes approvals or documented break-glass access during internal and external audits.
