  • Publication number: 20140074887
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards generating data models that may give semantic meaning for unstructured data or structured data that may include data generated and/or received by search engines, including a time series engine. Data models also may be generated to provide semantic meaning to structured data. A data model may be composed of a hierarchical data model objects analogous to an object-oriented programming class hierarchy. Users may employ a data modeling application to produce reports using search objects that may be part of, or associated with the data model. The data modeling application may employ the search object and the data model to generate a query string for searching a data repository to produce a result set. A data modeling application may map the result set data to data model objects that may be used to generate reports.

  • Publication number: 20140074889
    Abstract: Embodiments include generating data models that may give semantic meaning for unstructured or structured data that may include data generated and/or received by search engines, including a time series engine. A method includes generating a data model for data stored in a repository. Generating the data model includes generating an initial query string, executing the initial query string on the data, generating an initial result set based on the initial query string being executed on the data, determining one or more candidate fields from one or results of the initial result set, generating a candidate data model based on the one or more candidate fields, iteratively modifying the candidate data model until the candidate data model models the data, and using the candidate data model as the data model.

  • Patent number: 8583631
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards determining and tracking metadata for the generation of visualizations of requested data. A user may request data by providing a query that may be employed to search for the requested data. The query may include a plurality of commands, which may be employed in a pipeline to perform the search and to generate a table of the requested data. In some embodiments, each command may be executed to perform an action on a set of data. The execution of a command may generate one or more columns to append and/or insert into the table of requested data. Metadata for each generated column may be determined based on the actions performed by executing the commands. The table of requested data and the column metadata may be employed to generate and display a visualization of at least a portion of the requested data to a user.
