Is there any guy know how to keep check each user login and logout time and usage? Is there any 3rd party tools can do it?

SoftEther VPN can be configured to log each time a user logs in or out and the data for those specific sessions. Here is a sample found under security_log:

2014-12-19 01:37:39.409 The connection "CID-46" (IP address: 117.217.000.000, Host name: 117.217.000.000, Port number: 63750, Client name: "SoftEther VPN Client", Version: 4.12, Build: 9514) is attempting to connect to the Virtual Hub. The auth type provided is "Password authentication" and the user name is "user".
2014-12-19 01:37:39.409 Connection "CID-46": Successfully authenticated as user "user".
2014-12-19 01:37:39.409 Connection "CID-46": The new session "SID-VPN-4" has been created. (IP address: 117.217.000.000, Port number: 63750, Physical underlying protocol: "VPN over UDP with NAT-T (IPv4)")
2014-12-19 01:37:39.409 Session "SID-VPN-4": The parameter has been set. Max number of TCP connections: 2, Use of encryption: Yes, Use of compression: No, Use of Half duplex communication: No, Timeout: 20 seconds.
2014-12-19 01:37:39.425 Session "SID-VPN-4": VPN Client details: (Client product name: "SoftEther VPN Client", Client version: 412, Client build number: 9514, Server product name: "SoftEther VPN Server (32 bit)", Server version: 412, Server build number: 9514, Client OS name: "Windows 8.1", Client OS version: "Build 9600, Multiprocessor Free (9600.winblue_r3.140827-1500)", Client product ID: "--", Client host name: "user@AF2A218481BFFF9D747E8159C7FFFEAF35C1C2EA", Client IP address: "192.168.1.3", Client port number: 63750, Server host name: "117.227.000.000", Server IP address: "117.227.000.000", Server port number: 443, Proxy host name: "", Proxy IP address: "0.0.0.0", Proxy port number: 0, Virtual Hub name: "HUB", Client unique ID: "7D916CD0FEF8AF78C2F3D4C48DFFFB42")
2014-12-19 01:38:33.853 Session "SID-VPN-4": The session has been terminated. The statistical information is as follows: Total outgoing data size: 279626 bytes, Total incoming data size: 257499 bytes.

For cumulative output on the amount of transreceived packets, Softether VPN server manager can also do it.

Hmm...
That mean I need to make a little softwear to read the security log to calculate the user online status to keep check their online behavior.

Maybe my experience will help.
I have a Zabbix monitoring server installed and monitor a bunch of CentOS, Debian and Windows servers.
Once I was playing arround Zabbix and manged it to alarm me whenever some particular user has logged into any Linux server. If I recall it right I did it with log file observing on a monitored machine. Whenever some user has appeared in a log file, Zabbix sent me an email. And this has acctualy worked.
Maybe it would also work if you'd set up Zabbix to observe SoftEther log file and alarm you whenever some user log in.
Hope it helps...
Bye
