How to track if someone is trying to log in every X minutes or seconds as if programmed to do so?

My query looks like this:

eventtype=ftnt_fgt_event subtype=system host="*" eventtype=ftnt_fgt_auth_privileged status=failed
|stats count by src_user,src,action

How would I check if this query produces results on an X timeframe like every 10min?

Like this, for rigid buckets:

eventtype=ftnt_fgt_event subtype=system host="*" eventtype=ftnt_fgt_auth_privileged status=failed
| bin span=10m _time
| stats count BY src_user, src, action, _time

OR this for a sliding window:

eventtype=ftnt_fgt_event subtype=system host="*" eventtype=ftnt_fgt_auth_privileged status=failed
| streamstats time_window=600 count BY src_user, src, action
