 Six meta-variables are provided by the Watchdog class with state-based information specific to the IP address:
 
-    $ip_prelogin - the timestamp of the last attempted login
-    $ip_oldcheck - the timestamp of the first failed login
-    $ip_newcheck - the timestamp of the last failed login
-    $ip_failures - the current number of failed logins
-    $ip_attempts - the current number of attempted logins
-    $ip_names_list - list of assumed usernames in chronological order

 All meta-variables are persistent until the user successfully logs into the sever, at which point they are reset. If the server is restarted, they will be reset as well (since they are non-essential).
