Aggregation Count Plugin for Graylog

Continuous Integration License GitHub Release

Alert condition plugin for Graylog to perform aggregation

The alert condition triggers whenever the stream received more or less than X messages matching the same values of some message fields and with distinct values of other message fields in the last Y minutes.

Perfect for example to be alerted when there are brute-force attempts on your platform. Create a stream that catches every authentification failure and be alerted when that stream exceeds a given threshold per user.

Also perfect for example to be alerted when there are network port scans on your platform. Create a stream that catches your network traffic and be alerted when that stream exceeds a given threshold per source and per destination and with distinct values of port.

Please also take note that only a single alert is raised for this condition during the alerting interval, although multiple messages containing different values for the message fields may have been received since the last alert.

Example of raised alert:
