Logging of user login attempts

XMLWordPrintable

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