Procedure

  1. Optionally enable Suspicious Endpoints.

    1. Enter the number of threshold events (default: 50).
      The range is 1 to 1000.
    2. Enter the time period within which the number of threshold events are counted (default: 1 hour).
      Supported values are 30 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours, and 1 day.
