Hello, is it possible to view a log of successful root logins into WHM? I looked into the login_log file. But it only seems to show failed logins. If that's not possible, is it possible to get an email alert whenever someone logs into WHM successfully? Thanks for your help!

  Successful logins of root account to WHM can be found in access_logs:
  grep "root" /usr/local/cpanel/logs/access_log

  Hello :) You may also find the following option in "WHM Home >> Security Center >> cPHulk Brute Force Protection" helpful: "Send a notification upon successful root login when the IP address is not on the whitelist" Documentation on this option is available at:
