Hi,

I spent last few years with Splunk and now I’m an ELK user. I’d like to know if there is a way to perform a statistical search in ELK.

Let’s say, I have some firewall logs and I’d like to use it to detect a port scan behaviour. Here’s the query I’ll use in Splunk:

```auto
index=my_firewall_index

| stats dc(dest_port) as unequal_dest_port by source_ip

| where unequal_dest_port > 50

```

Could you please provide an ELK equivalent for this search?

Thanks.

Welcome to our community! 😃

You'd build a visualisation, aggregating on the `source_ip` field and then running a count metric on the `dest_port` field. Then add a filter for `dest_port > 50`

Sounds not that difficult 🙂 I'll try it.  
Thanks for the help!
