## Purpose

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

:::hint{type="info"}
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](docId\:gS-A-FCs9WyR7l1bCCw1N) and [Entries in the Default Error Log](docId\:b7bqTXXz7ahC-9p4Fgk6x).
