Email Alert at PVE web login and terminal

[koulis1234]

I would like to send mail to root anytime any user logs in via the web dashboard or by any other way (terminal ssh etc)

I would really appreciate a hint on this!!

maybe logwatch, or some related projects could be worth looking into for this:

Hi,

You must create a script like this /etc/profile.d/email-on-logon.sh

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/mail -s "new-root-login" user@domain.tld < /dev/null
# it works for guletz ;)

what triggers the script for PVE authentication? I can trigger it if someone authenticates with PAM

For this you can use swatch who can run a script when in a log file you find a string.

and what is the relevant log file for the PVE authentication system?

I can only gues, that you can find this info in /var/log/syslog on the master node, like for pam auth:

pveRO1 pvedaemon[2810]: <root@pam> successful auth for user 'root@pam'
