A method and apparatus for managing sessions across the nodes of a multi-node system is provided. When a session is first initiated on any node of a multi-node system, a global session identifier is assigned to the session. The global session identifier uniquely identifies the session relative to all other sessions managed by the multi-node system. A session monitor may use the global session identifier to collect and store cumulative statistics about the activity of the session, regardless of which node of the multi-node system is currently managing the session, since the global session identifier uniquely identifies the session relative to all other sessions managed by the multi-node system. As a session may be uniquely identified across the lifetime of the session, the session state may be cleaned-up when the session ceases to be maintained, and the activity of the session during its lifetime may be analyzed.
