  • Patent number: 10936643
    Abstract: Machine data reflecting operation of a monitored system is ingested and made available for search by a data intake and query system (DIQS). Ingested data includes log data entries produced by an application that represent low-level instances of user interface or interaction events. Inference processing generates a new collection of data instances that each identifies a higher-level task performed by a user in a sequence of the low-level events without regard to any explicit task affiliation data component of the low-level instances. Information for the task may include a measure of confidence that each low-level event of the sequence is properly associated with the task. Tasks of the new collection may be advantageously visualized and included in downstream processing.
