-Tracking the top-hit rules can highlight trends and potentially anomalous activities. Increased rates for a specific rule might indicate a potential false positive or targeted activity that you should investigate. The most common rule for tracking would be [IP-based controls](./static-controls.html#ip-based-controls), geo-blocking rules (a spike here can show traffic from unusual countries, which might not be automatically blocked), and [Rate-based rules](./static-controls.html#rate-based-rules). These rules would always have inherent variation, but an anomaly in the traffic pattern can be indicative of bot activity. Take this into consideration if you're manually setting the thresholds.
