Better user authentication monitoring.

Better user authentication monitoring.
We are missing a good overview of user authentications.
Per now, the Settings Audit is a great tool to see settings and changes in RAS management, but we are missing a good monitor for user authentications.
This could be a separate list from the sessions list, that lists actual RDSH Sessions.
We are missing information like:

-Timestamp for authentication event
-login successful (yes/No)
-login note: (unknown user, wrong password, failed MFA, SAML Mismatch)
-username (could be a user, wronfully spelled username, SAML Claim user, or bruteforce attack user attempted)
-matched username (preferably upn) from AD (Actual match for username
-Full name from AD Match
-client type (SAML. AD, AD+RADIUS MFAetc.)
-Login / End user Source IP
-Login / End user Source Country
-RAS Gateway Server
-Enrollment Server
-Enrollment Server token
-Enrollment Server token lifetime
-Theme

This would help us with
1. Supporting customer when login failed, wrong username, wrong saml user, mismatch saml/ad user etc.
2. let us see all bruteforce login attempts, for operational security
3. Get a better view of authentication in stead of having to download logs and parse through text files.

As a contrast, here is the login attempts seen from our RADIUS/MFA:

A lot of bruteforce attempt is happening, but nothing is seen in RAS.
 
Hooking on to this earlier thread.
As siem and logging is really in the wind these days, i am wishing not only for logging in console, but also possibility to forward security related logs to syslog to get ingested into our siem.
Nobody wants a incident in their network, but when stuff hits fans, it's really great for timelining if the logs are recorded and searchable in a siem/soar.
Getting info of bruteforce attempts before a breach, or signal of increased focus from an unusual source could give us sign to stop an attack before even happening.
