  • Patent number: 11940989
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a method may include display of a data summary view of a set of events that correspond to query results of a query. Each event of the set of events may include data items of a plurality of event attributes. In embodiments, the data summary view can include various summary reports. Each summary report can include summary entries and a summary graph that each present a summary of data items of a selected event attribute, of the plurality of event attributes. At least one summary report can include summary entries that are selectable by a user. The method may further include filtering the set of event, in response to, and based on, selection of one or more of the selectable summary entries by the user and updating of at least the first and second summary graphs to correspond to the filtered set of events.

  • Patent number: 11698900
    Abstract: In various embodiments, methods and systems for presenting a search interface with search query history based functionality is provided. A search query history store comprising search queries is accessed. The search query history store includes search queries executed in a search computing system. A search query comprises one or more commands. A plurality of search queries retrieved from the search query history store is displayed on the search interface using a placement style. A placement style, such as an indent style, provides a structure for separating and arranging commands of a plurality of search queries displayed. The search interface further provides for receiving a selection of at least a portion of a search query from the plurality of search queries to initiate actions or execute actions based on the selection. The search interface includes a search input interface, such as a search bar, where the selection of the portion of the search query is displayed based on a selected action.

  • Patent number: 11615073
    Abstract: A method includes displaying events that correspond to search results of a search query, the events comprising data items of event attributes, the events displayed in a table. The table includes columns corresponding to an event attribute, rows corresponding events, cells populated data items, and interactive regions corresponding to at least one data item and selectable to add one or more commands to the search query. A reference event attribute is determined based on an analysis of a data object. A supplemental column corresponding to a supplemental event attribute is added to the table based on the reference event attribute. Supplemental interactive regions are added to the table and correspond to supplemental data items.

  • Patent number: 11544248
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, in a first query interface, a query composed by the user by typing commands into a query box of the first query interface and based on the receiving of the query, causing events corresponding to query results of the query to be displayed in the first query interface with fields corresponding to the events. Based on the selection by the user of an option, a second query interface is displayed with a table that includes events that correspond to query results of a loaded query. The table includes columns corresponding to event attributes, rows corresponding to events. Cells are populated with the data items of event attributes, where one of the columns corresponds to a field of the fields displayed in the first query interface. The table also includes interactive regions selectable by the user to add one or more commands to the loaded query.

  • Patent number: 11544257
    Abstract: A method includes causing display of events that correspond to search results of a search query in a table. The table includes rows representing events comprising data items of event attributes, columns forming cells with the row, the columns representing respective event attributes, and interactive regions corresponding to one or more data items of the displayed data items. The method also includes in response to the user selecting a designated interactive region, causing display of a list of options, each displayed option corresponding to an interface template for composing query commands, and based on the user selecting an option in the displayed list of options, causing one or more commands to be added to the search query, the one or more commands composed based on the one or more data items that corresponds to the designated interactive region according to instructions of the interface template of the selected option.

  • Patent number: 11429600
    Abstract: A method includes causing display to a user of at least one event of a first result set from a first pipelined search on events at an event source. Each event comprises a time stamp and a portion of machine data. A selection of a command is received from the user. The selection is to extend the first pipelined search with the selected command in a second pipelined search. The system selects between the first result set and the event source for execution of the second pipelined search based on an analysis of the selected command and at least one command of the first pipelined search. Based on the selecting being of the first result set, display to the user is caused of at least one event of a second result set from the execution of the second pipelined search on the first result set.
