Tracking login failures by using a report

Login failures are recorded on the Pega log and are tracked in the database. To view the login failures, you can use a log viewer or you can write a report.

Pega Platform records login failures for all requestors, and can also record login successes if you configure that event on the Security Event Configuration landing page. Login successes and failures are tracked as instances of the Log-SecurityAudit class.

You can also view login failures on the Security Audit Log if you have configured the Audit log level on the Security Policies landing page.

  1. Create a report with an applies to class equal to Log-SecurityAudit.
  2. In the Edit columns section, list the columns to appear on the report.
  3. Optional: In the Edit filters section, define filters for the report.
    For example: In the Column source field, enter .pxCreateDateTime. In the Relationship list, click Greater than or equal to. Click Select values and then click a time period.
  4. Save and run the report.
