# DEV Notes:
#
# Regarding the multiline regex:
#
# There can be a nunber of non-related lines between the first and second part
# of this regex maxlines of 10 is quite generious.
#
# Note the capture __connid, includes the connection ID, used in second part of regex.
#
# The first regex is commented out (but will match also), because it is better to use
# the host from "end connection" line (uncommented above):
# - it has the same prefix, searching begins directly with failure message
# (so faster, because ignores success connections at all)
# - it is not so vulnerable in case of possible race condition
#
# Log example:

# 2016-10-20T09:54:27.110+0200 [conn1] Failed to authenticate root@test with mechanism MONGODB-CR: AuthenticationFailed UserNotFound Could not find user root@test
# 2016-11-09T09:54:27.894+0100 [conn1] end connection 127.0.0.1:53276 (0 connections now open)
