Are you asking about Computers --> Computer Record --> History --> "Computer Usage Logs" that shows the users login and logout of a particular Mac?

Sorry, should of been more specific. I am using Jamf PRo, and I know I can access individual "Computer Usage Log's" by going into Computers--> Search Computers--> Users Computer--> History--> "Computer user Logs" Is there a better way of doing this in JAMF Pro (Script), for a specific department/group?

If you can figure out which table in the Jamf Pro database holds this information (maybe "computerhistory"), you can access the classic API and write a script to pull this information for each entry. It's not obvious to me immediately which table is holding this info. If I were tasked to do this, I'd reach out to my Jamf Customer Support person and ask some exploratory questions about where this login is stored.

Hi @MO_Rx - did you ever figure out a way to export the computer usage logs for a computer?
