I want to setup an alert based on too many of one type of log showing up 
compared to another type of log during a window

Ideally, with the appropriate log messages being in a report

For example, I want to look at the number of successful and failed logins, 
and alert if the number of failed logins is >5 and >5% of the successful 
logins within a 20 minute window

So far, the best I've been able to come up with is to use snippets of perl 
code to set variables and then have another rule after them that does the 
comparison.

However, the one thing that I am getting stuck on is how to expire old 
matches after 20 minutes.

I guess I can setup a pair of singlewiththreashold rules with super high 
thresholds to detect the events and then look at the SEC internal 
variables for this to alert on them, but this seems like a fragile way to 
go about this.

any better ideas?
