Who tried failed login?

We use Azure Entra ID (formerly known as Azure Active Directory) with FME Flow to login the application.

So now we have two methods: 
1. user name and password
2. button "Sign in with Microsoft"

My colleagues often use the first method, which does not work for them.

I set up the system events to notify me when a login is failed. But now I would like to know who tried and failed to login. Is there a log that shows the username someone used to try to login? Does anyone know which logfile it is in?


ps it would be nice if I could hide the first login method. But that method is used by the admin-account. So I guess that is not an option.

System Events should show you the username of the person who tried to login?

Here is an exemple of an automation event :

{
  "automation.id": "13806e84-dbf2-441a-ab05-5309ec4569c2",
  "systemEvent.description": "Triggered whenever a user failed to login to the web interface.",
  "source": "system-event",
  "time": "2025-06-19T16:14:04+02:00",
  "message": "Failed login by user wronguser due to insufficient credentials.",
  "event.id": "b42409a4-d811-42a4-a631-4c1cff54af94",
  "user": "wronguser",
  "automation.name": "Untitledsdf",
  "systemEvent.title": "Login Failed"
}

 

You can get the message as well as the user from that event, and use them as input for workspace parameters :



Or directly use them in your email action :

Thank you both (@ebygomm & @alexbiz) for the very useful responses! 

I just tested some things and yes, the username does appear in the System Events! 

Apparently I have users that just click the Log In-button, without even entering a username. An event is logged, but understandably without a username. I guess that sort of confused me and lead me to believe the username was not logged at all or maybe only in an obscure log somewhere.
