Publication number: 20230171169Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms are disclosed that enable collection of various types of data from cloud computing services and the generation of various dashboards and visualizations to view information about collections of cloud computing resources. A user can configure collection of data from one or more cloud computing services and view visualizations using an application platform referred to herein as a cloud computing management application. A cloud computing management application further may be configured to generate and cause display of interactive topology map representations of cloud computing resources based on the collected data, where an interactive topology map enables users to view an intuitive visualization of a collection of computing resources, efficiently cause performance of actions with respect to various resources displayed in the topology map, and analyze the collection of resources in ways that are not possible using conventional cloud computing service management consoles.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 31, 2023Publication date: June 1, 2023Inventors: Qianjie Zhong, Geng Qin, Ting Wang, Min Zhang, Micah Delfino, Jef Bekes, D. Randall Young, Cary Noel, Feng Shao, Dritan Bitincka

Publication number: 20220138078Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms are disclosed that enable a data intake and query system to generate and cause display of circular timelines of timestamped event data. As used herein, a circular timeline generally refers to a graphical display of timestamped events stored by a data intake and query system, wherein the timestamped events may be displayed as arcs of one or more concentric circles and located in a circular timeline area according to a chronological ordering associated with the events. One or more display attributes of each arc may further depend on other data associated with the corresponding events. For example, each arc of a circular time may be displayed at a particular radial distance, with a particular thickness, using a particular shading and/or color, etc., depending on various data values associated with the one or more events represented by the arc.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2021Publication date: May 5, 2022Inventors: Peter Chen, Min Zhang, Feng Shao, Qianjie Zhong, Geng Qin, D.
