Patent number: 9002854Abstract: Methods and apparatus consistent with the invention provide the ability to organize, index, search, and present time series data based on searches. Time series data are sequences of time stamped records occurring in one or more usually continuous streams, representing some type of activity. In one embodiment, time series data is organized into discrete events with normalized time stamps and the events are indexed by time and keyword. A search is received and relevant event information is retrieved based in whole or in part on the time indexing mechanism, keyword indexing mechanism, or statistical indices calculated at the time of the search.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2012Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Michael J. Baum, David Carasso, Robin K. Das, Rory Greene, Brad Hall, Nick Mealy, Brian Murphy, Stephen Sorkin, Andre Stechert, Erik M. Swan

Patent number: 8589321Abstract: Methods and apparatus consistent with the invention provide the ability to organize and build understandings of machine data generated by a variety of information-processing environments. Machine data is a product of information-processing systems (e.g., activity logs, configuration files, messages, database records) and represents the evidence of particular events that have taken place and been recorded in raw data format. In one embodiment, machine data is turned into a machine data web by organizing machine data into events and then linking events together.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2011Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Michael J. Baum, David Carasso, Robin K. Das, Brad Hall, Brian Murphy, Stephen Sorkin, Andre Stechert, Erik M. Swan, Rory Greene, Nicholas Christian Mealy, Christina Noren
