  • Virtual log file that aggregates multiple physical log files
    Patent number: 11256668
    Abstract: The current document is directed to a virtual-log-file system that provides a browser-like display interface to users, enabling users to view the contents of log files. The virtual-log-file system assembles a virtual log file from the contents of one or more physical log files, applying filters and other processing to physical-log-file entries in order to generate the virtual-log-file entries logically contained within the virtual log file. The virtual-log-file system allows users to navigate, by scrolling, through the entries of the virtual log file, with additional virtual-log-file entries obtained from physical log files by the virtual-log-file system to support logical infinite scrolling in either direction.

  • Dynamic field extraction of data
    Patent number: 10042834
    Abstract: A log analytics graphical user interface enables a user to dynamically extract and define a field from unstructured log data. The log analytics module automatically determines a definition for a field based on log text selected by the user. A portion of each log message is highlighted to reflect what the extracted field may be to assist users with understanding if input parameters are selected the intended log data. Changes to the definition of the field, by the user, may cause further highlighting that to indicate an incomplete or erroneous field definition.
