Hi,

I've tried using this in various ways but I could never get any real success.

I came close but the logging was always far too verbose. The info I wanted
WAS there but so was a ton of other data I didn't want. I'd share the configs
I tried but they came and went as I was experimenting.

Would love to know how to configure the events logging such that I only get
a successful auth line logged as that would, indeed, solve my issue. It's
quite likely I didn't hit the right config as the docs are somewhat sparse.
