Alerting

Manipulating Timewrap output: How can I create an alert when a user has a consistently high number of failed logins over a given time period?

I want to alert when a user has a consistently high number of failed logins over a given time period - e.g. if over 3 days a user had 5 failed logins on each day the alert would trigger, but if one day had 30 failed logins and day 2 and 3 had no or very few failed logins the alert would not trigger.

I started with the following:

| timechart span=1d count by User useother=f usenull=f | timewrap 1d series=short

This would give me an output of:

 User1_s0 | User1_s1 | User1_s2 | User1_s3 
 3         4            5        6

My current logic is:

| timechart span=1d count by User useother=f usenull=f | timewrap 1d series=short | where s0 > 10 AND s1 > 10 AND s2>10

However, that doesn't give me any results and the docs for timewrap don't show many examples of how to reference each day as it were/perform further operations on the results.
