 This is the `login` dataset of the system module.
 
-It is implemented for Linux only.
+[float]
+=== Implementation
+
+The `login` dataset is implemented for Linux only.
+
+On Linux, the dataset reads the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utmp[utmp] files
+that keep track of logins and logouts to the system. They are usually located
+at `/var/log/wtmp` (successful logins) and `/var/log/btmp` (failed logins).
+
+The file patterns used to locate the files can be configured using
+`login.wtmp_file_pattern` and `login.btmp_file_pattern`. By default,
+both the current files and any rotated files (e.g. `wtmp.1`, `wtmp.2`)
+are read.
+
+utmp files are binary, but you can display their contents using the
+`utmpdump` utility.
