Searching of a 'logs' plugin dedicated to the quiz activity

Dear Moodlers,

Is there a 'logs' plugin dedicated to the quiz activity that allow us to see for example

  • How many time a student attempt to guess the exam key
  • The exact time a student answered a question (in a page containing many questions) during a quiz 

The default logs doesn't show us the above information.

Hello Mario,

... the exam key.
Are you referring to Safe Exam Browser?

The exact time a student answered a question ...
Have you checked Grade report: Quiz Analytics?

By the way, with the Formulas question type, the teacher's review of a student attempt shows the exact time and all of the parts' answers each time the student clicked on the "Check" button:

Hello @dominique Bauer and thanks for the reply,
Concerning the exam key. I mean the required password that students needs to enter to launch the quiz.

I want to know if a students was trying to "GUESS" the required password, so I want to retrieve a report that shows these logs. (time of entering the required password). The default logs doesn't show us the above information, it just show us when the student entered correctly the required password.

Your observation is correct. Incorrect attempts to enter the quiz password are not logged.

I guess if someone wants this badly enough, it would be quite easy to develop. Just needs extra code here: https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/master/mod/quiz/accessrule/password/rule.php#L85 to write a log entry. Or possibly better to do it here: https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/6153be6850869cdc3a6ae925dcf6e688ac481333/mod/quiz/accessmanager.php#L559 to catch all unsuccessful attempts to get into the quiz for whatever reason.

Should possibly also do it in these methods: https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/6153be6850869cdc3a6ae925dcf6e688ac481333/mod/quiz/accessmanager.php#L323, https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/6153be6850869cdc3a6ae925dcf6e688ac481333/mod/quiz/accessmanager.php#L340 so that things like students tryign to access the quiz from a disallowed IP address get logged.

Thanks Tim 

Does that mean you've sent a request that requires someone to develop it ?

No.

It means that I have shared the knowledge about how this could be implemented, in principle. How Moodle Open Source development works is not somethign I want to explain right now.
