How Do I Enable Logging for Login Failures?

MySQL

The account hacking prevention function for Linux supports MySQL 5.6 and 5.7. Perform the following steps to enable logging for login failure:

  1. Log in to the host as the root user.
  2. Run the following command to query the log_warnings value:

    show global variables like 'log_warnings'

  3. Run the following command to change the log_warnings value:

    set global log_warnings=2

  4. Modify the configuration file.

    • For a Linux OS, modify the my.conf file by adding log_warnings=2 to [MySQLd].
