Abstract: Techniques for visualizing events in a distributed system are provided. One or more recordings identifying events occurring on a software agent are received, where two of the events occurred effectively simultaneously. A visualization showing a timeline for the software agent is generated, where the visualization represents the events as icons on the timeline based on times associated with the events, and where the visualization includes a stacked icon representing the two events that occurred effectively simultaneously. A request indicating the stacked icon is received, and the stacked icon is updated to present a semi-circle arrangement of icons representing the two events that occurred effectively simultaneously. A causal chain of events related to a first event corresponding to the stacked icon is determined, and the visualization is updated based on the causal chain of events to present an ordered sequence of events.

Abstract: Data within a database are displayed to discover patterns of events in time-based data. A first display of a linear timeline indicating events within time-based data is provided. The linear timeline of the first display may be transformed into a second display to cluster the events within the time-based data, where the second display includes one or more from the group of a stacked linear timeline of the events, a polar (annular) timeline of the events, and a helical timeline of the events. Patterns of the events are revealed within the second display to identify event associations.
