  • Publication number: 20240126773
    Abstract: An event limited field picker for a search user interface is described. In one or more implementations, a service may operate to collect and store data as events each of which includes a portion of the data correlated with a point in time. Clients may use a search user interface perform searches by input of search criteria. Responsive to receiving search criteria, the service may operate to apply a late binding schema to extract events that match the search criteria and provide search results for display via the search user interface. The search user interface exposes an event limited field picker operable to make selections of fields with respect to individual events in a view of the search results. In response to receiving an indication of a fields selected via the picker, visibility of selected fields may be updated to control which field and values are included in different views.

  • Publication number: 20240105966
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for coating bipolar plates. It is characterized by at least the following method steps: applying an epoxy resin-carbon mixture at least to regions of at least one side that is to be coated of a bipolar plate; placing a die onto the side coated with epoxy resin-carbon mixture of the bipolar plate and fixing the die relative to the bipolar plate with a fixed distance between bipolar plate and die; curing the epoxy resin-carbon mixture and removing the die; roughening at least regions of the cured epoxy resin-carbon mixture coating; hydrophilizing at least the roughened regions of the epoxy resin-carbon mixture coating by exposing at least the roughened regions to a low-pressure plasma.

  • Patent number: 11907271
    Abstract: First one or more values are extracted from a plurality of events using a first extraction rule. 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 and a field label is assigned to the first field. Second one or more values and a field label corresponding to the second one or more values are extracted from the plurality of the events using a second extraction rule, where the extracted field label corresponds to the assigned field label of the first field. 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, thereby distinguishing the extracted second one or more values from the extracted first one or more values.

  • Patent number: 11893010
    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: 11868364
    Abstract: First one or more values are extracted from a plurality of events using a first extraction rule. 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.

  • Patent number: 11868158
    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.

  • Patent number: 11841908
    Abstract: Based on a selection by a user of first one or more values of one or more events displayed in a graphical interface, an extraction rule is automatically determined that is capable of extracting a field label-value pair at least partially within at least the selected one or more values. An option is displayed that correspond to the determined extraction rule in the graphical interface. Based on the user selecting the option in the graphical interface, display is caused of second one or more values of one or more field label-value pairs extracted from the one or more events using the extraction rule. The one or more events may be displayed in a table format, and the first one or more value may be selected by the user selecting one or more cells, columns, or text portions in the table format.

  • Patent number: 11816108
    Abstract: Custom communication alert techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a triggering condition is detected by one or more computing devices that is found by searching data using one or more extraction rules of a late-binding schema. Responsive to the detection of the triggering condition of the alert, a communication is formed by the one or more computing devices that corresponds to the alert and that includes one or more tokens based on one or more values of the data taken from fields defined by the one or more extraction rules. The communication is caused to be transmitted by the one or more computing device via a network for receipt by at least one computing device of an intended recipient of the communication.

  • Patent number: 11687515
    Abstract: Event time selection output techniques are described. In one or more implementations, one or more inputs are received, at one or more computing devices, that involve interaction associated with a particular one of a plurality of events via a user interface, in which the plurality of events result from a search of data, each of the plurality of events include the data that is associated with a respective point in time, and the one or more inputs specify a relative time in relation to the respective point in time of the particular event. A determination is made as to which of the plurality of events correspond to the specified relative time by the one or more computing devices and a result of the determination is output by the one or more computing devices for display in the user interface.

  • Patent number: 11386133
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to certain system and method embodiments for generating reports from unstructured data. In one embodiment, a method can include identifying events matching criteria of an initial search query (each of the events including a portion of raw machine data that is associated with a time), identifying a set of fields, each field defined for one or more of the identified events, causing display of an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) that includes one or more interactive elements enabling a user to define a report for providing information relating to the matching events (each interactive element enabling processing or presentation of information in the matching events using one or more fields in the identified set of fields), receiving, via the GUI, a report definition indicating how to report information relating to the matching events, and generating, based on the report definition, a report including information relating to the matching events.
