Originally created by @adamboutcher on GitHub (May 11, 2023).

Originally assigned to: @abhi1693 on GitHub.

NetBox version

v3.5.1

Feature type

Change to existing functionality

Proposed functionality

Change the Netbox logger (netbox.auth.login) for authentication failure to include the remote IP address, this.

Use case

The change would allow for parsing of the logs easier to detect brute force authentication attacks (i.e. Fail2Ban etc).

May 11 12:58:20 netbox NetBox: level=INFO,logger=netbox.auth.login,msg=Failed login attempt for username: test-fail
to
May 11 12:58:20 netbox NetBox: level=INFO,logger=netbox.auth.login,msg=Failed login attempt for username: test-fail from x.y.1.1

Database changes

NA.

External dependencies

This may have to use the X-Real-IP header?

@adamboutcher commented on GitHub (May 18, 2023):

Possibly need the output to be easier to parse?

Such as:
May 11 12:58:20 netbox NetBox: level=INFO,logger=netbox.auth.login,msg=Failed login attempt; username: test-fail; from: x.y.1.1;

You could parse using the delimiters ; then :

I noticed you are using 3.4.2. I am assuming this is still present in 3.5.1, however could you confirm this on 3.5.1 and update your FR?

Yes, still the same in 3.5.1, updated the original post to reflect this.
