  • Patent number: 11954127
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11860858
    Abstract: Systems and methods for decoding distributed ledger transactions by data intake and query systems. An example method includes: receiving a transaction of a distributed ledger, wherein the transaction includes transaction data and an identifier of an account of the distributed ledger; receiving a bytecode module, wherein the bytecode module is associated with the account of the distributed ledger; computing a bytecode digital fingerprint associated with the bytecode module; identifying, among a plurality of stored application binary interface (ABI) definitions, an ABI definition having an ABI digital fingerprint that matches the bytecode digital fingerprint; and producing decoded transaction data by decoding, using the identified ABI definition, the transaction data.

  • Patent number: 11797168
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for determining and displaying automatically binned information via a graphical user interface. A graphical user interface (GUI) may include a first graphical element representing a first metric value for a first time window and a second graphical element representing a second metric value for a second time window. An indication of a selection of the first time window may be received via the GUI. An updated GUI comprising a third graphical element representing a third metric value for the third time window and a fourth graphical element representing the fourth metric value for the fourth time window may be displayed, wherein the third time window and the fourth time window may be sub-ranges of the first time window.

  • Patent number: 11798209
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are systems and methods for updating third party visualizations in response to a query. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes receiving input data comprising events, where the events comprise time-stamped machine- generated data. The method also comprises receiving a modular visualization that includes a variable field associated with a visualization and instructions for rendering the visualization using the input data and the variable field. Further, the method comprises rendering the visualization based on the input data and a value associated with the variable field. Additionally, the method comprises updating the value of the variable field and obtaining updated input data using a search query that is generated using the updated value. The visualization is re-rendered based on the updated input data and the updated value.

  • Patent number: 11741089
    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.

  • Patent number: 11728928
    Abstract: A blockchain consortium network can be implemented in which nodes of one or more blockchains generate data for pipeline-based processing by a consortium pipeline system. The generated data can include private blockchain data, public blockchain data, and machine data, such as logs or operational metrics from the nodes. The data is collected from different network levels and can be transformed via pipeline processes of the consortium pipeline system to securely share data in the blockchain consortium network.

  • Patent number: 11722507
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11720549
    Abstract: A machine data validation system can track and validate the integrity of machine data generated by machines. The system can generate hashes for the items and batch hashes that can be validated using an immutable data store, such as a blockchain. The system can implement a tiered blockchain structure to efficiently store and reference the hashes to validate the machine data at different times or upon request from an end-user.

  • Patent number: 11693904
    Abstract: In various implementations, search results corresponding to a search query are obtained. A data visualization is generated from the search results. The generated data visualization is pushed to a registered display of a display device, where the pushing causes presentation of the generated data visualization on the registered display. An alert configuration interface may be caused to be presented on a display management device. From the displayed alert configuration interface, user input indicating an assignment of a set of trigger conditions to a display alert may be received. The display alert can be pushed to the registered display based on determining the set of trigger conditions is satisfied. The pushed display alert may be presented over the data visualization on the registered display.

  • Patent number: 10997190
    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.
