[keycloak-user] Keycloak events related to token/session expiry

[Tomas Kyjovsky]

Hello Vineet,

Unfortunatelly Keycloak doesn't support generating token/session expiration events at this time, only for direct user-initiated logout.

I'm not sure what category this event would fall into. The login events are related to user-initiated actions (EventType.LOGOUT), and the admin events are specific to administrative operations.
This type of event isn't initiated by any user. It would have to be generated by a periodic task such as the one which removes the expired user sessions once in a while (ClearExpiredUserSessions.java in keycloak/services module).

Perhaps the best way is to create a feature request in the project's issue tracker so that the developers can consider how/if this can be solved.
