Stages and Predicates

let secondRec is inlined into the numbered stages below.

Let binding: firstRec

let firstRec = FortyTwoCrunchAPIProtection
| where TimeGenerated >= ago(5m) 
| project-away NonBlockingMode, SourcePort, DestinationPort, Query, ApiId, RequestHeader, ResponseHeader, Errors, EventType, Uuid
| where UriPath has "/api/login" |
top 1 by Timestamp desc;

Let binding: ipAddress used in Stage 4

let ipAddress = toscalar(firstRec | summarize by SourceIp);

Let binding: recCount used in Stage 5

let recCount = iff((toscalar(secondRec | count) > 1), 0, 1);

Stages 1 to 4 define let secondRec (the rule's main pipeline source); stage 5 runs on it.

Stage 1: source

FortyTwoCrunchAPIProtection

Stage 2: where

| where TimeGenerated >= ago(7d)

Stage 3: project-away

| project-away NonBlockingMode, SourcePort, DestinationPort, Query, ApiId, RequestHeader, ResponseHeader, Errors, EventType, Uuid

Stage 4: where

| where UriPath has "/api/login" and SourceIp == ipAddress

Stage 5: take

secondRec
| take recCount
