In case you want to take time in consideration as well to check for consecutive unsuccessful login attempts, either you can use timechar command or add bin command to the query as follows:

index=ecs_legacy source="/var/log/cisco-acs.log" "NOTICE Failed-Attempt: Authentication failed" | bin _time span=5m| stats count by DestinationIPAddress, Remote-Address, UserName | where count > 5

Hi

Can you please try this query ?

index=ecs_legacy source="/var/log/cisco-acs.log" "NOTICE Failed-Attempt: Authentication failed" | stats count by DestinationIPAddress, Remote-Address, UserName | where count > 5

EDIT: Or may be below query because I don't know which is your source and destination IPs, you can change your source and destionation IP field in given query.

    index=ecs_legacy source="/var/log/cisco-acs.log" "NOTICE Failed-Attempt: Authentication failed" | stats count by DestinationIPAddress, "Device IP Address", UserName | where count > 5

Thanks,
Harshil
