    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for efficiently storing information identifying journey instances within unstructured event data of a data intake and processing system. Each journey instance is illustratively associated with a series of events within the unstructured event data occurring over a journey duration. Because the unstructured event data may be constantly updated, any given inspection of the event data may yield both complete and incomplete instances. Storage of instance data over time can require updating of prior incomplete journey instances with complete versions of such instance detected at a later point in time. However, a data store of the unstructured event data may be unsuited for such updating, as the store may maintain version information for deleted data to reduce possibility of data loss. To address this issue, a separate structured data store, such as a columnar time series data store, is provided to efficiently store instance information.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for supporting transformations of a graph generated from a query to event data. The event data may be unstructured event data, from which instances of a journey can be identified that represent sequences of related events describing actions performed in a computing environment. When evaluating journey instances, it can be helpful to visualize the instances as a graph. Depending on the instances viewed, a user may desire different modifications to the graph. While such modifications can be made when initially building instances from the unstructured event data, this can limit reuse of the resulting instances (since the modification would also be present when evaluating other subsets). To address this, embodiments of the present disclosure enable graph modifications to be applied to subsets of journey instances after building those instances from unstructured event data, increasing reuse of instances built from a query against the unstructured data.
