The problem here is like you wrote in your second paragraph:

"it's unclear how to distinguish a legitimate denial from a potential security threat"

You will have to first, specify what you are looking for, and then find data supporting it. And yes, log files are mostly not easy to understand, and you will have to spend some time on decoding the data, what it means, and for what purpose you can use it.

As I never tried something like this, I hope others have better ideas.

do you have any specific contacts you'd suggest? I opened a support ticket, and they basically said they couldn't do anything beyond referring me to the public documentation. In fact, they suggested I check this forum and open a thread.

Yeah, this is difficult. I suggest to contact Appian to discuss this matter in detail.
