Trigger to catch database failed login attemts

Sometimes in the database you get a failed login attempts and you need to catch who is doing so.I have created a login trigger which you can use to determine who is doing this attempts.The trigger will throw messages in the alert log with all the information needed to do so.
=========
Code:          |
==========================================================

-- sample trigger to write diagnostic info to alert.log
-- for failed login attempts (ora-1017)

create or replace trigger logon_denied_to_alert
after servererror on database
 declare
  message varchar2(120);
  IP varchar2(15);
  v_db_user varchar2(30);
  v_os_user varchar2(80);
  v_module varchar2(50);
  v_action varchar2(50);
  v_pid varchar2(10);
  v_sid number;
  v_machine varchar2(100);
begin
   IF (ora_is_servererror(1017)) THEN

   -- get IP for remote or ospid for local connections:
      if sys_context('userenv','network_protocol') = 'TCP' then
        IP := sys_context('userenv','ip_address');
      else
        select distinct sid into v_sid from sys.v_$mystat;
        SELECT p.SPID into v_pid FROM V$PROCESS p, V$SESSION v
             WHERE p.ADDR = v.PADDR AND v.sid = v_sid;
        select machine into v_machine from v$session where sid = v_sid;
      end if;    

      v_db_user := sys_context('userenv','AUTHENTICATED_IDENTITY');
      v_os_user := sys_context('userenv','os_user');
     
      dbms_application_info.READ_MODULE(v_module,v_action);
       
         message:= to_char(sysdate,'Dy Mon dd HH24:MI:SS YYYY');
         sys.dbms_system.ksdwrt(2,message);

         message:= 'logon denied connecting as ' || v_db_user || ' from '|| v_machine || ' '||nvl(IP,v_pid)||' '||v_os_user||
         ' with '||v_module||' '||v_action;

         sys.dbms_system.ksdwrt(2,message);

-- remove comments from next line to let it hang for 5 minutes
-- to be able to do more diagnostics on the operating system:
--         sys.dbms_lock.sleep(300);
    end if;
end;
/
-- end trigger
