I need to be able to detect this pattern of events, in a series of events where the TERMINAL number is increasing by 1 and eventually has a status of 'S', in other words, I need to be detect the event(s) that have a status of 'S' where the preceding 5 events were increasing by 1 and had a status of 'F'.

Thank you

This seems to be working so far

| delta TERMID AS delta | table _time TERMINAL delta STATUS MESSAGE | search delta="-1" STATUS=S
