We use Xibo cloud. In the “Sessions” page (/sessions/view), there are sessions that show the username as being empty/blank. I also noticed that these sessions appear in the list when we select “Guest” under the “Type” field at the top.
What are these sessions?

Same here. No idea what those sessions are. Our self-hosted instance is country-locked on CloudFlare level and we’re getting those sessions from out of the country.

When you access the CMS UI before you login, you have a session created. Those sessions will show there with no username and password. On Cloud you’ll see several of those as our monitoring solution will access each CMS periodically to check that it’s up and running correctly.
