Hi @Or_Biran,

Thanks for posting this question. I think a lot of readers are wondering about this topic.

The type of threshold-based detection you describe is not currently possible using the SIEM app detection rules. We are currently working on adding a new SIEM rule type, based on a set of Elasticsearch aggregations, that will allow for threshold-based detections.

We can't say exactly when it will become available, but you can get a rough idea of its functionality by checking out the beta version of Kibana "Alerts and Actions" features in the 7.7 version of the Elastic Stack ([documentation here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/managing-alerts-and-actions.html)). We expect the future SIEM detection rules to offer similar functionality.

Thanks again, and please continue to provide us with additional feedback.

-Mike P.
