report on ssh login attempts from the foreign source ip address

[gisnetsec]

I have several firewall appliances logging into one syslog file and would like to report on the number of SSH login attempts by the external source IP. The fields are a little different from typical syslog format. The appliances do not have the same rule base, so I can't key on rule number.

May 25 07:20:53 10.1.2.3 2011: May 25 15:37:39 fw_appl <50000> Dropped Inbound packet (Policy rule) Src:85.1.2.3 SPort:2624 Dst:62.1.2.3 DPort:22 IPP:6 Rule:21 Interface:WAN (Internet)

May 25 07:20:54 10.1.2.3 2011: May 25 15:37:40 fw_appl <50000> Dropped Inbound packet (Policy rule) Src:85.1.2.3 SPort:2639 Dst:62.1.2.3 DPort:22 IPP:6 Rule:21 Interface:WAN (Internet)

How about this:

"Dropped Inbound packet" Interface="WAN (Internet)" DPort=22 NOT Src=10.* NOT Src=192.168.* | stats count by host, Src

This search assumes that all the fields in your syslog message are extracted by Splunk.

From your question I assumed you wanted to see stats on both src ip as well as firewall device. If you just want the src ip, modify your search as such: | stats count by Src

[gisnetsec]

maybe the Src: field is not extracted as expected

[gisnetsec]

it seems to track the device IP address as the host, instead of Src:x.x.x.x -- when I go to report I see the fw appliance and the count of ssh logins without tracking how many times the foreign address attempted
