I thought I pointed a couple of times. I don't quite understand what
information you're lacking here.

** Alert 1271426220.619212: mail  - stats,
2010 Apr 16 08:57:00 (funt) 172.24.189.13->syscheck
Rule: 11 (level 8) -> 'Excessive number of events (above normal).'
Src IP: (none)
User: (none)
The average number of logs between 8:00 and 9:00 is 479. We reached 730.

On April 16, 2010 the system funt (possibly at ip 172.24.189.13),
between the hours of 8:00 and 9:00 had 730 events recorded by ossec.
It looks like these alerts may be related to syscheck, but I am not
positive. Look through the ossec logs for syscheck events for that
host between 8:00 and 9:00 on April 16, 2010.
The previous average number of logs for the hour between 8:00 and 9:00 was 479.
The system had roughly 251 more events than average between the hours
of 8:00 and 9:00 on April 16, 2010.

I think the stats is the group the alert belongs to.
