Abstract: Disclosed are a system and a method for providing user-interactive flow diagrams such as Sankey diagrams. In an embodiment, a machine data search and analysis system retrieving search results including a plurality of events, in response to a search query. The system identifies a first characteristic type from data of the plurality of events as a horizontal dimension of a multi-dimensional chart, and a second characteristic type from the retrieved data as a vertical dimension of the multi-dimensional chart. The system causes display of the multi-dimensional chart indicative of the data of the plurality of events. The multi-dimensional chart includes a table of a plurality of objects. Each object of the plurality of objects represents one or more events that share a common value of the first characteristic type and share a common value of the second characteristic type.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system and a method for providing user-interactive parallel coordinates charts. In an embodiment, a machine data search and analysis system retrieves search results including a plurality of events, each of the events containing time-stamped data in response to a search query. The system identifies a plurality of characteristics from the data corresponding to the events. The system causes display of a multiple-dimensional chart (e.g., a parallel coordinates chart) depicting the data corresponding to the events. The multiple-dimensional chart includes a plurality of axes. Each of the axes corresponds to one of the identified characteristics. The multiple-dimensional chart further includes a plurality of polylines representing the events. Each of the polylines includes a plurality of vertices on the axes.

Abstract: A data intake and query system may store raw machine data that includes location information. A client system may include a user interface for searching the data intake and query system. The user interface allows a user to define a field search query and to define one or more ad-hoc boundary regions on a map. A combined query is transmitted to the data intake and query system, the combined query including both the field search query and location search information that is based on the ad-hoc boundary regions. The data intake and query system runs the combined query and returns responsive results, which are displayed at the client user interface.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for a visualization system that facilitates exploration and analysis of large sets of data by providing for synchronized, independent visualizations of metrics or event-derived value sets. The visualizations can reflect a variety of data, including pre-prepared metrics, event-derived values, or a combination thereof. Global parameter controls can enable synchronized interaction with multiple visualizations, such as modifying parameters of respective visualizations with a single input. Local parameter controls can enable interaction with an individual visualization, independent of interaction with other visualizations. A variety of tools and interfaces are provided to manipulate the visualizations to facilitate analysis across a variety of metrics within a single interface.

Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms are disclosed for generating and causing display of graphical interfaces which enable an interactive and flexible search results visualization process. Based on results data identified in response to execution of a search query, an interface element is displayed which enables users to select a field contained in the results data, also referred to herein as a “dimension” or “facet,” and for which a “faceted” visualization of the results data can be dynamically generated and displayed. As used herein, a faceted visualization refers to a graphical interface including display of at least two separate data visualizations generated based on a selected facet data dimension, where each separate data visualization corresponds to a distinct value of the selected facet dimension.

Abstract: A modular visualization framework registers definitions for a variety of visualization types. The definitions are tagged with visualization characteristics. During a working session, likely interactive, a user identifies a search query used to produce data to be visualized. The working context, including the search query and data produced by its execution, is tagged for its visualization characteristics. Information about the working context, including its visualization characteristics, is then used to produce a customized list of candidates suited for the working context from which the user may select a visualization type.
