How to configure failed login notifications

 

In order to configure failed login notification, you will need to add an event log filter to your Endpoint Policies.

Go to the VSAX WebApp > Server Admin > Endpoint Policies > Endpoint Policy Details > Insert your Policy’s name > System > Event Log.

 

By default the option to Add Filter is disabled, to activate click on the ‘Send a notification’ box. The Add Filter button will turn from grey to blue.

 

 

In the newly opened window provide a title for your new alert and select Security for Event Logs and Audit Failed for Level fields for drop down menu.

The two last remaining steps are to set 4625 in the Event ID files and select the notification priority of your choice.
