Invoke the API described in this document from a client host.

ApplicationInstances for active sessions

ConnectionState eq 5 represents the connection state of this session is active.
ModifiedDate represents the target time range.

Request

GET /monitorodata/Sessions?$expand=ApplicationInstances&$filter=(ConnectionState eq 5) and (ModifiedDate gt 2024-08-06T07:00:00Z and ModifiedDate le 2024-08-06T07:10:00Z ) HTTP/1.1
