Search Query:
index=winevent source="WinEventLog:Security" EventCode="4624
| stats count by user Source_Network_Address

Output utilizing Sankey visualization:

                            User A                                                                                      10.20.30.40
Target                                          Count                                    Source                                               Count
- 10.20.30.40                                   26                                    User A                                                       26
                                                                                                        User B                                                       30

                            User B                                                                                      10.20.30.50
Target                                          Count                                    Source                                               Count
- 10.20.30.40                                   30                                    User B                                                       10
- 10.20.30.50                                   10

How do I only identify Users that have connected to more than 1 box? I attempted to use the Where function/argument however I may inputting the syntax incorrectly since it provides no results.

The query you provided does work, however it does not work for the Sankey Diagram visualization, much less any other visualization beyond a statistics table since any other doesn't display the IPs, just users and count. I'm assuming because there's now a third/fourth variable. It also doesn't provide the counts for each connection attempt to the IP. However the information is great and I'll see if I can mess around to perfect it. Any other tidbits or help would be greatly appreciated.

Output:

user                                                SAN                                                    Total
User A                                           10.20.30.40                                     2
                                                         10.20.30.50
