How It Works
When a user initiates a session by accessing an account, a recording of the session begins. The Gateway securely caches all recording data in temporary encrypted files on its local system. Every 10 seconds, the Gateway incrementally uploads new session events to the Infisical platform, allowing administrators to monitor activity in near real-time without waiting for the session to end. If the connection to the Infisical platform is temporarily lost, the Gateway continues recording locally and resumes uploading once connectivity is restored, ensuring no data is lost. After the session concludes, administrators can search and review the complete session logs on the Infisical platform.What’s Captured
