  • Patent number: 11169900
    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms are disclosed that enable a data intake and query system to generate and cause display of circular timelines of timestamped event data. As used herein, a circular timeline generally refers to a graphical display of timestamped events stored by a data intake and query system, wherein the timestamped events may be displayed as arcs of one or more concentric circles and located in a circular timeline area according to a chronological ordering associated with the events. One or more display attributes of each arc may further depend on other data associated with the corresponding events. For example, each arc of a circular time may be displayed at a particular radial distance, with a particular thickness, using a particular shading and/or color, etc., depending on various data values associated with the one or more events represented by the arc.
