The database in question is an 11.2.0.4 2-node RAC read-only standby database 
on Exadata,   Starting this evening, OEM began raising 'Event 
name=audit_failed_logins2:failed_login_count', reporting hundreds of failed 
login attempts. Of course OEM does not provide any additional information, so 
it remains a mystery.

The primary and standby databases are both auditing failed connections, so I 
searched through the *.aud files on both nodes of the standby database and 
didn't find any clues.

What should we check next?

Regards,
Doug
