> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

The On-line users module can be enabled in **Settings -> Security & Membership** by selecting the **Monitor on-line users** check-box.

If you are running the system on a [web farm](https://docs.kentico.com/k10/configuring-kentico/optimizing-website-performance/setting-up-web-farms.md), also select the **Store on-line users in database** check-box. This causes information about on-line users to be saved in the database and also allows the system to provide more detailed information about guests (anonymous users).

The **Update on-line users (minutes)** property defines how often information about users accessing the site is reloaded. The value is entered in minutes. When running the system on a web farm, enter the same value which is set for the **Remove expired sessions** scheduled task (you can read the value in **Scheduled tasks ->** edit **Remove expired sessions** task **-> Task interval -> Every:** X **minute**).

The **Deny login interval** property determines how long users will not be able to log-in after they are kicked. The value is entered in minutes.
