Alerting

How to create an Alert Based on Threshold?

I need to alert on a threshold. I would like to create an alert that looks at a source IP address and will alert me if that address attempts to connect to a threshold of devices over 445. So if Comp1 makes connection to more than 50 devices over 445 within 5 mins, please alert me. Or something like that... Numbers are only for illustration. 

 

Thanks.
