From your post, it sounds like you'd like to generate a report about incoming APM session:
- Login timestamp
- Logout timestamp
- Calculate login/logout to get a session duration
- Username
The APM logs contain sufficient information to generate such a report. The report log lines have the session ID number as a key, so you have to basically create a map of all session IDs and Check /var/log/apm for the correct lines with timestamp for session start, end, and username. Check the log file when you create a login and logout, they're straightforward. APM also has a report function to perform this task, but the amount of data stored is rather small because the disk on BIG-IP itself is used, and the size is limited. We recommend using syslog to send the logs to another device.

Saying "session", what do you mean exactly?
The communication from the users will usually be HTTP. It doesn't really have a session that you can get an "end time" from.
You can certainly log the beginning time for all communication using the ACCESS_ACL_ALLOWED event.
