It is certainly *possible*. But right now the event matrix - described here:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/event-trigger-matrix.html

does *not* include logon/logoff events. Given that 11 is just about to
be released, it won't include such a feature either. Now just to be
clear, what you are asking for makes sense - having direct access to
logon events rather than scraping the log file after then event - is a
nice idea...we just don't have a patch to do that for version 11 (or 12)
right now.
