LOGman Details
I am considering your LOGman product and have a few questions:
- Does LOGman log failed login attempts?
- Does LOGman log the IP address a user is coming from in its entries?
- Can LOGman periodically output logs to file?
- Is there an API to add LOGman entries from a custom component (not using event driven plugins)?
Thanks.

Answer
Hello Donald,
-
Does LOGman log failed login attempts?: No. LOGman relies on events when integrating it with Joomla extensions. This means that activities get only created when the action is successful. If a component triggers an event when the action fails, then LOGman could log these failed actions through a custom LOGman plugin.
-
Does LOGman log the IP address a user is coming from in its entries?: Yes. These are available in a DB table column.
-
Can LOGman periodically output logs to file?: Not out of the box, but a very simple CLI application running as a cron job could easily take care of this.
-
Is there an API to add LOGman entries from a custom component (not using event driven plugins)?: Yes. You may use the LOGman activity controller to direclty add activities within other applications. You may check
ComLogmanPluginAbstract::log to see how this is done from plugins.
For more information about the LOGman API, please refer to the developer guides. LOGman exposes a very powerful API for logging and exposing activities.
