This is pretty much what we see as well. I posted some instructions on how
to get these via the API Explorer earlier in the thread. But the very short
basics are:

   1. Sign in as a Google Admin (you need reporting rights)
   2. Go here:
   https://developers.google.com/admin-sdk/reports/v1/get-start/getting-started
   3. Click on the APIs Explorer link
   4. Click on "reports.activites.list"
   5. Have fun

Note that you're not going to get a pretty-printed report; you're just
getting a JSON-encoded list of events. For any "real" applications of this
data you'll want to write code of some sort, but for just taking a quick
look at things or poking around a bit, it's serviceable.

I'm curious as to where you folks are seeing the login reports. I have
not
been able to find them


Incidentally, I did request an additional alert from google, specifically
when an account hits the pre-configured sending limits, and the ability
to
"train" the suspicious login alerts
