  • Patent number: 11599400
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11561952
    Abstract: 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 stored as discrete events time stamps. A search is received and relevant event information is retrieved based in whole or in part on the time stamp, a keyword indexing mechanism, or statistical indices calculated at the time of the search.

  • Patent number: 11552983
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer program product and computing system for: detecting one or more security events within a computing platform of a client; notifying the client of the one or more security events within the computing platform; determining if the client responded to the one or more security events within the computing platform; and providing a response report to the client that quantifies client response performance based, at least in part, upon if the client responded to the one or more security events within the computing platform.

  • Patent number: 11526482
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed to automatically timestamp events within streaming machine data. The streaming machine data is broken into a set of events using breaking rules. Each event can be analyzed by iterating over own time stamp format patterns from a list of known time stamp format patterns to determine whether a matching pattern exists in the event. When an individual event broken out from the streaming machine data includes time information according to at least one known time stamp format pattern of the list of known time stamp format patterns, a timestamp can be created for the event by extracting a time value from event ng the matching pattern determined to exist in the event.

  • Patent number: 11249971
    Abstract: 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.
