This detection rule detects port usage above the configured threshold. The rule utilize ASIM normalization, and is applied to any source which supports the ASIM Network Session schema. To tune the rule to your environment configure it using the 'NetworkSession_Monitor_Configuration' watchlist. This rule leverages log summaries generated by a Summary Rule or Summarized Playbook. If no such summaries are available, the rule falls back to direct analysis using ASIM function.
