How to Set up Email Notifications when an account logs in to cPanel?
I've searched here as well as the web and what I was hoping was a simple checkbox ( as the subject states, is nowhere to be found. So, to repeat myself:
How to Set up Email Notifications when an account logs in to cPanel?
-
If you are using csf/lfd you can use
LF_CPANEL_ALERT = ON
and
LF_CPANEL_ALERT_USERS = all1 -
If you are looking for notifications for when somebody logs into your cPanel account, this can be found under cPanel->Preferences->Contact Information where you can set the notification email addresses and/or PushBullet access token - and then which notifications you wish to receive.
If you have access to WHM and want notification when anyone logs in, then I would suggest having a look at the excellent free 3rd party ConfigServer Security and Firewall package (aka "CSF"/"LFD") in particular the following settings:
LF_CPANEL_ALERT
Send an email alert if anyone accesses WHM/cPanel via an account listed in
LF_CPANEL_ALERT_USERS. An IP address will be reported again 1 hour after the
last tracked access (or if lfd is restarted)LF_CPANEL_ALERT_USERS
This is a comma separated list of accounts to send alerts for. To send an
alert for all accounts set this to "all"Hope it helps!

Thanks everyone.
I found myself here after too much time searching:
https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/articles/1500009577982-How-to-enable-cPanel-login-notifications
Which didn't help.
I missed the fact that I needed to enter:
LF_CPANEL_ALERT_USERS = all in csf/lfd
