Operator Login/Authentication LoggingΒΆ

StarlingX logs all operator login and authentication attempts.

For security purposes, all login attempts (success and failure) are logged. This includes the Horizon Web interface and SSH logins as well as internal local LDAP login attempts and internal database login attempts.

SNMP authentication requests (success and failure) are logged with operator commands (see Operator Command Logging). Authentication failures are logged explicitly, whereas successful authentications are logged when the request is logged.

The logs include the timestamp, user name, remote IP Address, and number of failed login attempts (if applicable). They are located under the /var/log directory, and include the following:

  • /var/log/auth.log

  • /var/log/horizon.log

  • /var/log/pmond.log

  • /var/log/hostwd.log

  • /var/log/snmp-api.log

  • /var/log/sysinv.log

  • /var/log/user.log

  • /var/log/ima.log

You can examine the log files locally on the controllers, or using a remote log server if the remote logging feature is configured.
