Right now I can see all front end failed logins.. is there a way to see successful front end logins?

Thanks,

No, you can't. Even though in theory such a feature is easily possible, in practice it would end up filling up your database in a very fast pace, leading to a major performance impact of your site. I know of at least one developer who has implemented such a thing, ending up with an audit log table counting several hundreds of thousands of rows for a rather small site.

Unfortunately, if you want to implement such a feature realistically you need to resort to the kind of technologies that are not suitable for most shared hosts and/or typical web masters such as:
- A replicated database to store the login events
- A cold storage for old logs with an automated system to retrieve them in case you want to search them
- CRON jobs to take care of database cleanup and move of historic records to intermediate or cold storage, depending on their age.
These are all possible (and have a good performance) but it's something that can't be realistically be included in a mass market component like Admin Tools due to the complexity of the setup.
