The new event grouping method enables the grouping of hits originating from the same IP address into one attack that optimizes the view and analysis of attacks generated by bots and third-party scanners.

Generally, a bot or a third-party scanner generates the set of hits with different malicious payloads and sends it from the same IP address. Each such hit is displayed as a separate event in Wallarm Console by default. The number of such hits can reach hundreds or even thousands taking a significant amount of time for its analysis. With the new hit grouping method enabled, hits generated by the bot or third-party scanner can be analyzed as a single entity since they are grouped into one attack.

To enable new grouping of hits, configure the special trigger:

Restriction: Hits of the Brute force, Forced browsing, Resource overlimit, Data bomb and Virtual patch attack types cannot be grouped into attacks using the new method.
