I have a virtualVirtual Machine with CentOS 7 as OS and a database is installed on this server. there are users like dbuser for database administrators .they They can login to server via ssh and has complete access to database and all of its tables and objects. thereThere are othersother users that they belong to developers and they have limited access to database. theseThese users are defined with nologin:

  useradd -c 'Developer - Robert Benton' -M -s /sbin/nologin devbenton

theyThey use applications that connects to database. aA connection definition in those applications are like this:

     Database Name: TestDB
     IP: 192.123.1.1
     Port: 6500
     Username: devbenton
     Password: ********

recentlyRecently we found out that someone found a user's password with a loop by guessing and trying to login so many times. the options are to block the IP with firewall or use something like Fail2ban to block users and IPs after failed logins.

but my questions is howHow to find out that users are doing something like that? inIn /var/log/secure or other log files i can't see failed login from users that use an application. iI want to monitor my system but how i can do that?
