Abstract:
Embodiments are directed are towards the transparent summarization of events. Queries directed towards summarizing and reporting on event records may be received at a search head. Search heads may be associated with one more indexers containing event records. The search head may forward the query to the indexers the can resolve the query for concurrent execution. If a query is a collection query, indexers may generate summarization information based on event records located on the indexers. Event record fields included in the summarization information may be determined based on terms included in the collection query. If a query is a stats query, each indexer may generate a partial result set from previously generated summarization information, returning the partial result sets to the search head. Collection queries may be saved and scheduled to run and periodically update the summarization information.
Abstract:
A quality score for a computer application release is determined using a first number of unique users who have launched the computer application release on user devices and a second number of unique users who have encountered at least once an abnormal termination with the computer application release on user devices. Additionally or optionally, an application quality score can be computed for a computer application based on quality scores of computer application releases that represent different versions of the computer application. Additionally or optionally, a weighted application quality score can be computed for a computer application by further taking into consideration the average application quality score and popularity of a plurality of computer applications.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus consistent with the invention provide the ability to organize, index, search, and present time series data based on searches. Time series data are sequences of time stamped records occurring in one or more usually continuous streams, representing some type of activity. In one embodiment, time series data is organized into discrete events with normalized time stamps and the events are indexed by time and keyword. A search is received and relevant event information is retrieved based in whole or in part on the time indexing mechanism, keyword indexing mechanism, or statistical indices calculated at the time of the search.
Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the processing of network data. During operation, the system provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for obtaining configuration information for configuring the generation of time-series event data from network packets captured by one or more remote capture agents. Next, the system provides, in the GUI, a first set of user-interface elements for including one or more event attributes in the time-series event data of an event stream associated with a protocol classification of the network packets. The system then includes the one or more event attributes specified through the first set of user-interface elements in the configuration information.
Abstract:
One or more processing devices cause display of a graphical user interface (GUI) that includes a correlation search portion that enables a user to specify information for a key performance indicator (KPI) correlation search definition. The KPI correlation search definition includes search information and trigger determination information. The search information identifies KPI values, indicative of the KPI states, in a data store. The trigger determination information includes trigger criteria. The trigger determination evaluates the identified KPI values using the trigger criteria to determine whether to cause a defined action. A contribution threshold for a particular KPI definition is received via the GUI. The contribution threshold corresponds to a particular KPI state. The contribution threshold is stored as trigger criteria information. Each of the KPI values is derived from machine data pertaining to entities identified in a service definition using a search query specified by a KPI definition for the service.
Abstract:
Processing device(s) cause display of a dashboard-creation graphical interface that includes a modifiable dashboard template and a key performance indicator (KPI)-selection interface for selecting a KPI indicating how a service provided by one or more entities is performing at one or more points in time. Each entity is associated with machine data. A KPI is defined by a search query that derives value(s) for the KPI from the machine data associated with the entities that provide the service. The processing device(s) receive through the KPI-selection interface a selection of a particular KPI and a selection of a location in the dashboard template corresponding to a location for displaying a KPI widget in a dashboard based on the dashboard template. The KPI widget provides a representation of value(s) for the particular KPI. The processing device(s) cause display of an identifier for the particular KPI at the location in the dashboard template.
Abstract:
One or more processing devices access a service definition for a service provided by one or more entities that each produce machine data or about which machine data is generated. The service definition identifies the entities that provide the service and, for each entity, identifying information for locating machine data pertaining to that entity. The processing devices access a key performance indicator (KPI) for the service that is defined by a search query that produces a value derived from the machine data pertaining to the entities identified in the service definition. The value indicates how the service is performing at a point in time or during a period of time and indicates a state of the KPI. A graphical interface is displayed and an indication of at least one threshold, which defines an end of a range of values representing a state of the KPI, for the KPI is received.
Abstract:
One or more processing devices create one or more entity definitions that each associate an entity with machine data pertaining to that entity and create a service definition for a service provided by one or more entities. The service definition includes an entity definition for each of the one or more entities. The one or more processing devices create one or more key performance indicators (KPIs). Each KPI is defined by a search query that produces a value derived from the machine data identified in one or more of the entity definitions included in the service definition. Each value is indicative of how the service is performing at a point in time or during a period of time.
Abstract:
In embodiments of event segment search drill down, a search system exposes a search interface that displays multiple events returned as a search result set. A segment can be emphasized in event raw data of an event that is one of multiple events displayed in the search interface, and a menu is displayed with search options that are selectable to operate on the emphasized segment. The menu includes the search options to add the emphasized segment as a keyword to a search command in a search bar of the search interface, exclude the keyword that represents the emphasized segment from a search, or create a new data search based on the highlighted segment. A selection of one of the search options in the menu can be received, and the search command in the search bar is updated based on the search option that is selected.
Abstract:
Custom communication alert techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a triggering condition is detected by one or more computing devices that is found by searching data using one or more extraction rules of a late-binding schema. Responsive to the detection of the triggering condition of the alert, a communication is formed by the one or more computing devices that corresponds to the alert and that includes one or more tokens based on one or more values of the data taken from fields defined by the one or more extraction rules. The communication is caused to be transmitted by the one or more computing device via a network for receipt by at least one computing device of an intended recipient of the communication.
