  • Patent number: 10896175
    Abstract: A dependency is created between a first search query and a second search query. The first search query defines a first data processing pipeline and the second search query defines a second data processing pipeline that extends the first data processing pipeline. A modification is detected to the first data processing pipeline defined by the first search query. Based on the modification to the first data processing pipeline being detected, the dependency is enforced such that the second data processing pipeline is modified to extend the modified first data processing pipeline. The modification to the first data processing pipeline can include a first set of pipelined commands corresponding to the first search query being modified, and the dependency can be enforced by causing a second set of pipelined commands corresponding to the second search query to be modified to include the modified first set of pipelined commands.

  • Publication number: 20210011925
    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.

  • Publication number: 20210004144
    Abstract: In embodiments of statistics value chart interface row mode drill down, a first interface is displayed in a table format that includes columns each with field values of an event field, and each column having a column heading of a different one of the event fields, and includes rows each with one or more of the field values, where each field value in a row is associated with a different one of the event fields, and each row includes an aggregated metric that represents a number of events having field-value pairs that match all of the one or more field values listed in a respective row and the corresponding event fields listed in the respective columns. A row can be emphasized in the first interface, and in response, a menu is displayed with selectable options to transition to a second interface that displays a listing of the events based on a selected one of the options.

  • Publication number: 20200409965
    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.

  • Patent number: 10877963
    Abstract: A list of command entries is displayed in a search interface, each of the command entries representing one or more commands of a plurality of commands of a search query. The list of command entries are displayed in a sequence corresponding to the plurality of commands of the search query. Based on a user interaction with a designated command entry in the displayed list of command entries, the displayed list of command entries is modified with respect to the designated command. Furthermore, the search query is automatically modified with respect to the corresponding one or more commands represented by the designated command entry. The modification can include causing the designated command entry to be removed from or reordered in the displayed list of command entries and the automatic modification cam include causing the corresponding one or more commands to be removed from or reordered in the search query.

    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: 10762138
    Abstract: A 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: 10726030
    Abstract: A facility for defining an event subtype using examples is described. The facility displays events identified among machine-generated data. The facility receives user input selecting a first subset of the events as examples of an event subtype. In response to receiving the user input, the facility displays a second subset of the events predicted to belong to the event subtype on the basis of the examples of the event subtype.

  • Publication number: 20190250799
    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.
