Folks, 

Using the API is one possible way today!! The other option is to forward
this info to a Radius Accounting server and then parse your accounting
logs

Thanks

I believe that the Cisco sanctioned method is to call the "getuserinfo"
method in the API.  This returns a ton of data, which is kind of a pain
to parse, particularly every 5 minutes or so.  I have personally sent in
a feature enhancement request to make this info available via SNMP, but
I haven't received an answer yet.
