'This rule identifies a single source that generates an excessive amount of failed connections. Modify the threshold to change the sensitivity of the rule: the higher the threshold, the less sensitive is the rule and less incidents will be generated. This analytic rule uses ASIM and supports any built-in or custom source that supports the ASIM NetworkSession schema'
