Audit login failure (with generation of alerts)

Hi,
I'm looking for a method to generate a Alert (Through SQL Agent) when a
login failure is detected on my SQL servers.
I managed to audit this through profiler, but I'm looking for something
which can be handled by the SQL Agent.
Thanks,
Chris

It's still better that if it would have been worst, isn't it ?
C'est toujours mieux que si c'etait pire !Set up an alert of 18456, and have it respond by sending you an Email.

Audit failed logins

Hello:
I am trying to enable failed login attempt auditing and have succeeded with
by using a trace and event log alerts. The problem is there is no IP address
in the trace or alters. I have selected the "Host Name" column in profiler
but it only lists the hosts for successful logins, kind of pointless.
Any ideas on how I can get the IP address of failed login attempts?
Thanks.Hi,
SQL Server will not get IP Address of the Hosts machines. Probably you could
use the utilities like NETMON to track the IPAddress.
Thanks

the IP address is logged in the SQL Errorlog for failed logins.
