NAME

       doveadm-who - Show who is logged into the Dovecot server

SYNOPSIS

       doveadm [GLOBAL OPTIONS] who [-1] [-f passdb_field] [-a anvil_socket_path] [user_mask] [ip [/ bits]]

DESCRIPTION

       The who command is used to show which users from which hosts are currently connected to which service.

GLOBAL OPTIONS

       Global doveadm(1)

       -D

           Enables verbosity and debug messages.

       -O

           Do  not  read any config file, just use defaults. The dovecot_storage_version setting defaults to the
           latest version, but can be overridden with

       -k

           Preserve entire environment for doveadm, not just import_environment setting.

       -v

           Enables verbosity, including progress counter.

       -i instance-name

           If using multiple Dovecot instances, choose the config file based on this instance name.

           See instance_name setting for more information.

       -c config-file

           Read configuration from the given config-file. By default it first  reads  config  socket,  and  then
           falls  back  to  /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf. You can also point this to config socket of some instance
           running compatible version.

       -o setting=value

           Overrides the configuration setting from /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf and from the userdb with the given
           value. In order to override multiple settings, the -o option may be specified multiple times.

       -f formatter

           Specifies the formatter for formatting the output. Supported formatters are:

           flow

               prints each line with key=value pairs.

       pager

           prints each key: value pair on its own line and separates records with form feed character (^L).

       tab

           prints a table header followed by tab separated value lines.

       table

           prints a table header followed by adjusted value lines.

       This command uses by default the output formatter table.

OPTIONS

       -1

           Print one line per user and connection. Otherwise the connections are grouped by the username.

       -a anvil_socket_path

           This option is used to specify an alternative socket. The option's argument  is  either  an  absolute
           path  to  a  local  UNIX domain socket, or a hostname and port (hostname:port), in order to connect a
           remote host via a TCP socket.

           By default doveadm(1) will use the socket

       -f passdb_field

           Alternative username field to use for querying,  as  returned  by  passdb.  Only  the  passdb  fields
           beginning with the user_ prefix are tracked.

ARGUMENTS

       ip [/ bits]

           Specify  an  ip  address  or  network  range,  in  CIDR  notation,  to  reduce the result to matching
           connections.

       user_mask

           List only users whose login name matches the user_mask, or the alternative username (user_* field) if
           the -f parameter is used. It's also possible to use wildcards in the user name.

EXAMPLE

       Show authenticated sessions, filtered by the client's IP address:

         doveadm who ::1

         username                       # proto (pids)        (ips)
         jane                           2 imap  (30155 30412) (::1)

         $ doveadm who 192.0.2.0/24
         username                        # proto (pids)  (ips)
         john@example.com                1 imap  (30257) (192.0.2.34)

       Show authenticated sessions, filtered by username:

         doveadm who pvo

         username         # proto (pids)                    (ips)
         pvo              1 sieve (30343)                   (fd95:4eed:38ba::25)
         pvo              4 imap  (25693 25686 25679 25669) (fd95:4eed:38ba::25)

         $ doveadm who ja\*
         username                    # proto (pids)        (ips)
         james                       1 imap  (30091)       (127.0.0.1)
         jane                        2 imap  (30155 30412) (::1)
