Patent number: 11954127Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for associating summarizations of visualizations of a data set based on affinities between the summarizations. For a data set, a number of summarizations may be created that summarizes the data set in different ways. The summarizations may be linked, such that selecting a data element of a first summarization causes display of a second summarization. To assist in linking of summarizations, suggested linkings between summarizations can be determined based on affinities of the two summarizations. Affinities can reflect similarities in the data content of the two summarizations, such as an output of a first summarization being a valid input to the second summarization.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Nicholas J. Filippi, Siegfried Puchbauer, Ruyuan Ge

Patent number: 11722507Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that generates an alert based on information extracted from search results generated by a query. During operation, the system executes the query to generate the search results. The system also obtains configuration information for the alert, wherein the configuration information identifies information associated with the search results, and also specifies a trigger condition for the alert. Next, when the trigger condition for the alert is met, the system uses the configuration information to generate a payload containing the identified information associated with the search results. The system then invokes alert-generating functionality and provides the payload as input to the alert-generating functionality. This enables the alert-generating functionality to use the information from the search results while performing one or more alert actions association with the alert.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2022Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Nicholas J. Filippi, Siegfried Puchbauer-Schnabel, Carl S. Yestrau, Vivian Shen, J. Mathew Elting

Publication number: 20230177062Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for generating one or more files to visualize query results. The systems and methods can include parsing one or more files that include one or more queries and computer-executable instructions for displaying results of the one or more queries. The one or more queries can identify a set of data to be processed and a manner of processing the set of data. The systems and methods can further include generating one or more files that include the results of the queries and computer-executable instructions for displaying one or more visualizations of the results.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 27, 2023Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventors: Nicholas J. Filippi, Siegfried Puchbauer, Ruyuan Ge

Patent number: 11074283Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed involving user interface (UI) search tools for visualizing or summarizing a data set. A number of summarizations may be created that summarizes the data set in different ways. The summarizations may be linked, such that selecting a data element of a first summarization causes display of a second summarization. To assist in linking of summarizations, a user interface is further provided to display suggested linkings between summarizations based on affinities of the two summarizations. Affinities can reflect similarities in the data content of the two summarizations, such as an output of a first summarization being a valid input to the second summarization.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2017Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Nicholas J.

Publication number: 20210026849Abstract: A system that enables a user to configure alert actions based on search results generated by a query is disclosed. During operation, the system presents an alert user interface (UI) to a user, wherein the alert UI enables the user to configure one or more alert actions to be performed based on the search results. Next, the system receives alert configuration information from the user through the alert UI, wherein the alert configuration information includes tokens representing parameters associated with the query and the search results. Then, while generating an alert associated with the search results, the system performs a token substitution operation that substitutes tokens in the alert configuration information with corresponding parameters from the search results to generate a payload that is communicated to alert-generating functionality. This token substitution allows the parameters to be used by the alert-generating functionality while performing the one or more alert actions.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2020Publication date: January 28, 2021Inventors: Nicholas J.
