Describe the bug
The crowdsecurity/opnsense-gui-logs and crowdsecurity/sshd-logs parsers do not match the audit log format used by OPNsense 26.1.9. All authentication-related log lines show parser failure at s01-parse despite syslog-logs parsing successfully at s00-raw.
Parser expects:
/index.php: Web GUI authentication error for 'username' from 1.2.3.4
Actual log format in /var/log/audit/latest.log:
user installer failed authentication for login on OPNsense\Auth\Services\System via OPNsense\Auth\Local
cscli explain output:
line: <39>1 2026-06-07T05:45:06+00:00 OPNsense.internal audit 41095 - [meta sequenceId="18"] user installer failed authentication for login on OPNsense\Auth\Services\System via OPNsense\Auth\Local

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Install os-crowdsec on OPNsense 26.1.x
- Run: grep "authentication" /var/log/audit/latest.log | tail -3 | cscli explain -f- --type syslog
- Observe parser failure at s01-parse for crowdsecurity/opnsense-gui-logs
Expected behavior
Failed authentication attempts should be parsed and trigger the crowdsecurity/opnsense-gui-bf brute force scenario.
