Logging Failures

Security events that should be logged — failed logins, access violations, server errors. Two events are silently swallowed. Check the log panel to find which ones are missing.

What is this?

Logging failures occur when security-relevant events — authentication failures, authorization violations, critical errors — are not recorded. Without logs, incidents become undetectable, and forensic investigation is impossible after an attack.
