Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for anomaly detection based on a predicted value. A search query can be executed over a period of time to produce values for a key performance indicator (KPI), the search query defining the KPI and deriving a value indicative of the performance of a service at a point in time or during a period of time, the value derived from machine data pertaining to one or more entities that provide the service. A graphical user interface (GUI) enabling a user to indicate a sensitivity setting can be displayed. A user input indicating the sensitivity setting can be received via the GUI. Zero or more of the values as anomalies can be identified in consideration of the sensitivity setting indicated by the user input.

Abstract: First event data, indicative of a first activity on a computer network and second event data indicative of a second activity on the computer network, is received. A first machine learning anomaly detection model is applied to the first event data, by a real-time analysis engine operated by the threat indicator detection system in real time, to detect first anomaly data.

A third anomaly is detected using an anomaly detection rule. The threat indictor system processes the first anomaly data, the second anomaly data, and the third anomaly data using a threat indicator model to identify a threat indicator associated with a potential security threat to the computer network.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for processing and executing queries in a data intake and query system. The data intake and query system receives a query identifying a set of data to be processed and a manner of processing the set of data.

The data intake and query system maps the identified buckets to the search nodes and executes the query using the identified bucket and search nodes.

Abstract: Improved crawling and curation of data and metadata from diverse data sources is described. In some embodiments, improvements are achieved by interpreting the context, vocabulary and relationships of data element, to enable relational data search capability for users. The user querying process is improved by systematic identification of the data objects, context, and relationships across data objects and elements, aggregation methods and operators on the data objects and data elements as identified in the curation process. User query suggestions and recommendations can be adjusted based on the context, relationships between the data elements, user profile, and the data sources. When the user query is executed, the query text is translated into an equivalent of one or more query statements, such as SQL or PostGre statements, and the query is performed on the identified data sources. Results are assembled to present the answer in a meaningful visualization for the user query.

For example, metrics values can be generated for components of the monolithic application and/or for components of a microservice of the microservice-based application.

Abstract: In embodiments of field value search drill down, a search system exposes a search interface that displays one or more events returned as a search result set. A field-value pair can be emphasized in the field-value pairs of an event displayed in the search interface, and a menu is displayed with search options that are selectable to operate on the emphasized field-value pair of the event. The menu includes the search options to add search criteria of the emphasized field-value pair to a search command in a search bar of the search interface, exclude the search criteria of the emphasized field-value pair from a search, or create a new data search based on the emphasized field-value pair. A selection of one of the search options in the menu can be received, and the search command in the search bar is updated based on the search option that is selected.

Abstract: Techniques for identifying attack behavior based on scripting language activity are disclosed. A security monitoring system generates a behavior profile for a first client device based on scripting language commands included in a first set of raw machine data received from the first client device, where the first client device is coupled to a network, and the first set of raw machine data is associated with network traffic received by or transmitted from the first client device. The security monitoring system analyzes a second set of raw machine data received from the first client device, where the second set of raw machine data is associated with subsequent network traffic received by or transmitted from the first client device. The security monitoring system detects an anomaly in the second set of raw machine data based on the behavior profile, and initiates a mitigation action in response to detecting the anomaly.

The extracted first one or more values are assigned to a first field of the plurality of events as a first set of field-data item pairs. Second one or more values are extracted from the plurality of the events using a second extraction rule. The second extraction rule identifies the second one or more values and a field label corresponding to the second one or more values in the extracted first one or more values of the first set of field-data item pairs. The extracted second one or more values are assigned to a second field of the plurality of events as a second set of field-data item pairs. The field label extracted using the second extraction rule or a modified version thereof may be assigned to the second field.

Abstract: A method, system, and processor-readable storage medium are directed towards generating a report derived from data, such as event data, stored on a plurality of distributed nodes. In one embodiment the analysis is generated using a “divide and conquer” algorithm, such that each distributed node analyzes locally stored event data while an aggregating node combines these analysis results to generate the report. In one embodiment, each distributed node also transmits a list of event data references associated with the analysis result to the aggregating node. The aggregating node may then generate a global ordered list of data references based on the list of event data references received from each distributed node. Subsequently, in response to a user selection of a range of global event data, the report may dynamically retrieve event data from one or more distributed nodes for display according to the global order.
