  • Patent number: 11755634
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to certain system and method embodiments for generating reports from unstructured data. In one embodiment, a method can include identifying events matching criteria of an initial search query (each of the events including a portion of raw machine data that is associated with a time), identifying a set of fields, each field defined for one or more of the identified events, causing display of an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) that includes one or more interactive elements enabling a user to define a report for providing information relating to the matching events (each interactive element enabling processing or presentation of information in the matching events using one or more fields in the identified set of fields), receiving, via the GUI, a report definition indicating how to report information relating to the matching events, and generating, based on the report definition, a report including information relating to the matching events.

  • Publication number: 20150026167
    Abstract: Fields may be discovered in events that are returned in response to an initial search. The events may comprise portions of raw data. Furthermore, the fields may be defined by extraction rules for extracting values from corresponding portions of raw data. The displaying of a graphical user interface (GUI) may be caused where the GUI enables a user to select or enter criteria for a subset of the discovered fields without entering a search query in a search bar. At least one criterion for at least one field from the subset of the discovered fields may be received through a portion of the GUI that does not include a search bar for entering a search query. The events returned in response to the initial search query may be caused to be filtered based on the received criterion.
