It looks like you want to use **Elasticsearch Security Audit**. [[Audit logging | Elasticsearch Guide [7.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.13/auditing.html) ]  
It provides the next events (from [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.13/audit-event-types.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.13/audit-event-types.html)):  
`authentication_success` - Logged when a user successfully authenticates.  
`authentication_failed` - Logged when the authentication token cannot be matched to a known user.|

If you use Kibana Spaces and want to audit access to spaces you should use **Kibana Audit Logging** [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/xpack-security-audit-logging.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/xpack-security-audit-logging.html)
