hi, I want to create an alert that will trigger when 1 user (no specific user name, just one persong from the organization), deletes more than 5 files from DropBox.

I tried setting the following query:

host="ip-of-the-host-as-arrives-in-splunk" "event_type..tag"=file_delete | where count > 5

but how do I add the 1 user part ?

 

will love to get some help, I am new at this
