Logging of user login attempts

XMLWordPrintable

    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      For security, users would like a log indicating when users attempt to sign-in to Confluence. This would be useful for determining the source of a intrusion attempt such as the use of a dictionary-based login script.

      This could be integrated with the existing user access logging. For example, create filters for login and logout IP and username as below.
