| Id | a5b6c7d8-5e6f-7a8b-9c0d-1e2f3a4b5c6d |
| Rulename | Tailscale Premium: Subnet router throughput anomaly |
| Description | Identifies when a subnet router (gateway node bridging the tailnet to an on-prem or cloud subnet) handles 3x or more its 7-day baseline traffic in the last hour. Spikes can indicate exfiltration or scanning. Requires Tailscale Premium or Enterprise. |
