  • Publication number: 20180157704
    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.

  • Patent number: 9922099
    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: 9817862
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards determining and tracking metadata for the generation of visualizations of requested data. A user may request data by providing a query that may be employed to search for the requested data. The query may include a plurality of commands, which may be employed in a pipeline to perform the search and to generate a table of the requested data. In some embodiments, each command may be executed to perform an action on a set of data. The execution of a command may generate one or more columns to append and/or insert into the table of requested data. Metadata for each generated column may be determined based on the actions performed by executing the commands. The table of requested data and the column metadata may be employed to generate and display a visualization of at least a portion of the requested data to a user.

  • Patent number: 9582585
    Abstract: Fields may be discovered in events that are returned in response to an initial search. The events may comprise portions of raw data. Furthermore, the fields may be defined by extraction rules for extracting values from corresponding portions of raw data. The displaying of a graphical user interface (GUI) may be caused where the GUI enables a user to select or enter criteria for a subset of the discovered fields without entering a search query in a search bar. At least one criterion for at least one field from the subset of the discovered fields may be received through a portion of the GUI that does not include a search bar for entering a search query. The events returned in response to the initial search query may be caused to be filtered based on the received criterion.
