Patent number: 11836148Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for implementing a data stream correlation user interface. The data stream correlation user interface enables users to view information from two sets of records, and identify fields in the two sets of records that can be matched together to “glue” together multiple records. For example, a user may specify that values in an “AcctID” field in one set of records can be matched to values in an “Account_ID” field of a second set of records. Additional identifying fields may be selected, such that multiple values can be chained together. The system can match the records of multiple sets together using designated fields, enabling users to view how many records from one set have a corresponding record in another set.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Paul Boster, Keith Kramer, Cary Noel, Isabelle Park

Patent number: 11797168Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for determining and displaying automatically binned information via a graphical user interface. A graphical user interface (GUI) may include a first graphical element representing a first metric value for a first time window and a second graphical element representing a second metric value for a second time window. An indication of a selection of the first time window may be received via the GUI. An updated GUI comprising a third graphical element representing a third metric value for the third time window and a fourth graphical element representing the fourth metric value for the fourth time window may be displayed, wherein the third time window and the fourth time window may be sub-ranges of the first time window.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2022Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: SPLUNK INC.Inventors: Nicholas Filippi, Siegfried Puchbauer-Schnabel, Cary Noel

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.

Patent number: 11641372Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms are disclosed that enable network security analysts and other users to efficiently conduct network security investigations and to produce useful representations of investigation results. As used herein, a network security investigation generally refers to an analysis by an analyst (or team of analysts) of one or more detected network events that may pose internal and/or external threats to a computer network under management. A network security application provides various interfaces that enable users to create investigation timelines, where the investigation timelines display a collection of events related to a particular network security investigation. A network security application further provides functionality to monitor and log user interactions with the network security application, where particular logged user interactions may also be added to one or more investigation timelines.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2022Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Vijay Chauhan, Cary Noel, Wenhui Yu, Luke Murphey, Alexander Raitz, David Hazekamp

Patent number: 11269476Abstract: A visualization can include a set of swim lanes, each swim lane representing information about an event type. An event type can be specified, e.g., as those events having certain keywords and/or having specified value(s) for specified field(s). The swim lane can plot when (within a time range) events of the associated event type occurred. Specifically, each such event can be assigned to a bucket having a bucket time matching the event time. A swim lane can extend along a timeline axis in the visualization, and the buckets can be positioned at a point along the axis that represents the bucket time. Thus, the visualization may indicate whether events were clustered at a point in time. Because the visualization can include a plurality of swim lanes, the visualization can further indicate how timing of events of a first type compare to timing of events of a second type.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: SPLUNK INC.Inventors: Cary Noel, John Coates

Patent number: 11144185Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media are disclosed for generating and providing concurrent journey visualizations associated with different journey definitions. In computer-implemented embodiments, a data intake and query system, or a journey visualization computing tool, can be used to generate and provide concurrent representations corresponding with different journey definitions. In operation, a set of journey instances associated with a journey having a set of steps is obtained. Each step may be associated with at least one event that includes raw machine data produced by a component of an information technology environment. Upon obtaining different journey definitions specifying filters to apply to the set of journey instances, the data intake and query system can generate journey visualizations in accordance with the journey definitions.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2018Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Jindrich Dinga, Simon Fishel, Cary Noel, Isabelle Park, Horst Werner

Patent number: 10997192Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for implementing a data stream correlation user interface. The data stream correlation user interface provides workflows for selecting individual data sources from a matrix of data sources, identifying individual data fields of the data sources, establishing criteria for determining correlations between them, and reviewing and enabling user verification of correlated data sources. Correlations may be established based on the values of data fields in individual records of the data sources, and may be determined based on correspondences or associations between the values, lookup tables, formulas, user-specified criteria, or other relationships.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2019Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Paul Boster, Keith Kramer, Cary Noel, Isabelle Park

Patent number: 10838605Abstract: Data values for various items are visualized in real-time or near real-time using radial-based techniques to produce data visualizations bearing some resemblance to, for example, pie charts, radial charts, etc. The data values are shown using indicators that encircle, or at least partially encircle, a central point. One or more characteristics of the indicator reflect the value that corresponds to the indicator. The characteristics may include, for instance, the color of the indicator and/or the distance of the indicator (or more specifically, a given point on the indicator) from the central point. The characteristics of the indicators change over time, in accordance with changes in the current values of the data items. A variety of indicators may be used, including, without limitation, points, icons, pie “wedges,” filled or partially-filled sectors of an ellipse or semi-circle, arcs or lines that span between the sides of such sectors, and so forth.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2019Date of Patent: November 17, 2020Assignee: SPLUNK INC.Inventors: Cary Noel, Ian Link
