  • Patent number: 10049473
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are systems and methods for providing third party visualizations. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes receiving, via an API, computer-executable instructions configured to render a visualization using events and a variable field; rendering the visualization using the events; causing displaying of a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising a visualization panel and a variable element; receiving, via the variable element of the GUI, an indication of a first change in the value of the variable field to a first value; re-rendering the visualization using the events and the first value; and causing display of the GUI with an updated visualization panel and the variable element.

  • Publication number: 20180225343
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20180157405
    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.

  • Publication number: 20180121035
    Abstract: In various implementations, a display of a display device is registered based on receiving a request from the display device. User input is received from a display management device indicating a display configuration setting for the display. User input is received indicating an assignment of a data visualization of analytics data to the registered display based on the display configuration setting. In response to the receiving of the user input indicating the assignment, data is sent that causes the data visualization to be presented on the registered display.

  • Publication number: 20180121566
    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.

  • Publication number: 20170237761
    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.

  • Publication number: 20170220633
    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.
