Authentication activity widget

The Authentication Activity widget displays a line graph of the number of logins versus time.

This graph in the Authentication Activity widget is designed to measure average authentication rates in systems with steadily high volumes of authentication attempts. The statistics at every time scale (i.e. 6 hours, 24 hours, 3 days, etc.) are accumulated into 48-time segments representing each point on the graph.

For example, for the "Last 6 hours", each point on the graph represents the rate for the preceding 450 secs (i.e. 6 hours * 3600 sec/hr/48).

To adjust the data displayed in the graph, select the edit button to open the Authentication Activity Widget Settings dialog box.

The following settings are available:

Custom widget title	Enter a custom widget title for the widget, or leave it blank to keep the default title.
Refresh interval	Enter a custom refresh interval for the widget (in seconds), or leave it as the default time of 300 seconds (or five minutes).
Time period	Select a time period for the graph to cover from the dropdown menu: Last 6 hours, Last 24 hours, Last 3 days, Last 7 days, or Last 30 days.
Activity Type	Select the activity type to display in the graph: All login attempts, Successful login attempts, or Failed login attempts.
