01 Authentication activities
Authentication activities with added context, such as logins in critical systems and failed login attempts greater than a given threshold.
Successful logins
norm_id=* label=User label=Login label=Successful -user=*$ host IN CRITICAL_SYSTEM | chart count() by host, user order by count() desc limit 10
Failed logins above a threshold
norm_id=* label=User label=Login label=Fail -user=*$ user=* | chart count() as "Count" by user order by "Count" desc limit 10 | search "Count">50
02 Account management
Monitoring of user account creation, deletion and other activities to monitor resource and system access privileges.
User account creation
norm_id=WinServer* label=User label=Account label=Management label=Create -target_user=*$ -user=*$ | chart count() by log_ts, domain, user, action, target_user order by count() desc limit 10
User account deletion
norm_id=WinServer* label=User label=Account label=Management (label=Delete OR label=Remove) -target_user=*$ -user=*$ | chart count() by log_ts, domain, user, action, target_user order by count() desc limit 10
