Hello guys,

Can anyone please help me to create a DOS/DDOS alert without using any application in splunk. 

For example: 

if source IPs sending thousands of TCP packets simultaneously within the 15-20 minutes or so.  

I can't seem to find any docs that related to this.

TIA

Hi
To getting help you must 1st tell what you have on your splunk. Describe your log events, indexes etc.
This is doable if/when you have suitable data in splunk.
