Causes
The 'login-logger' interceptor provided logging facilities for the Confluence login process. This included logging the last and previous login dates for a particular user as they log in to Confluence. The ConfluenceLoginInterceptor has been removed in Confluence and it's functionality migrated to the LoginManager. In some upgrade situations, the seraph-config.xml configuration file would have been migrated from an earlier version which has this 'login-logger' interceptor declared.
Resolution
Modify the seraph-config.xml file and remove the following entry:

<interceptor name="login-logger" class="com.atlassian.confluence.user.ConfluenceLoginInterceptor"/>Was this helpful?
