One way or another you'd need to go back through the past daily login audit files. There may be a way to do this within Appian but it may be faster to just do it manually.

Thank you for your response Mike Schmitt Its just a one off audit not for a particular user but to count the number of users who logged in for past 6 months or perhaps 3 months. Please advise an easier way or a rule that can help fetch this info

You can certainly query that file from within Appian, but doing so is a bit of a lift and it only goes back so far before you start having to deal with compressed archival copies (which maybe Appian can't do on its own).

What's your use case? Are you trying to do a one-off audit of a particular user? Are you trying to build something where, going forward, you can maintain internal user audits? Something in between? Because if it's something you will need on a wide-scale and ongoing basis, then the best approach might be to build a tool that scrapes the previous day's audit file every single day and writes the contents to a DB table.
