Hi Willem, If you are talking about firewall messages, a simple rule would work:
<rule id="100101" level="10" frequency="30" timeframe="45"> <if_matched_sid>4100</if_matched_sid> <same_source_ip /> <description>Multiple Firewall events from same source ip.</description> </rule> *Note that if 4100 is the main firewall rule. To alert on a connection on port 3000 from 191.12.33.100, you can do: <rule id="100102" level="5"> <if_sid>4100</if_sid> <srcport>3000</srcport> <srcip>192.12.33.100</srcip> <description>Firewall event on port 3000 from 191.12.33.100.</description> </rule> Hope it helps. -- Daniel B.
