Please share some sample anonymised events so that we can see what you are dealing with. Please explain which parts of the events are important for what you are trying to discover. Please share what you would like the results to look like. Without this type of information, we are reduced to attempting to read your mind (and my mind-reading license has been revoked after the unfortunate incident with the estate agent!)

Hi @adoumbia ,

as @ITWhisperer said, it's really difficoult to help you without knowing the events to apply the search.

Anyway, if you need a brute force attack sample search, you can see in the Splunk Security Essentials App ( https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/3435 ) where you can find what you're searching and many other Security Use Cases.

Ciao.
