Default Error Log Entries Per Minute Event Source

Purpose

Triggers an alert when vWAF writes more entries to the Default Error Log within the given timeframe than the limit allows.

Depending on the selected timeframe, a new event is triggered for each new time interval. For example, when the chosen timeframe is “1 Minute” and for a period of 20 minutes each minute there are more new entries to the Default Error Log than the limit allows, the event source triggers 20 events. For more information, see Default Error Log and Entries in the Default Error Log.
