Hi, 

We have 2 Splunk authentication systems - SAML,Splunk (default). We wanted to have an alert, if the user login to Splunk via "Splunk" authentication system.

Is there way to do that? Can we do this via Splunk query?
need help on this.

Thanks,

Mala S

with some cleanup since Splunk can't onboard their own audit logs.

index=_audit info=succeeded method=Splunk user!=internal_observability
