Abstract

Event time selection output techniques are described. In one or more implementations, one or more inputs are received, at one or more computing devices, that involve interaction associated with a particular one of a plurality of events via a user interface, in which the plurality of events result from a search of data, each of the plurality of events include the data that is associated with a respective point in time, and the one or more inputs specify a relative time in relation to the respective point in time of the particular event. A determination is made as to which of the plurality of events correspond to the specified relative time by the one or more computing devices and a result of the determination is output by the one or more computing devices for display in the user interface.

Claims30

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method comprising:

accessing a set of events in a data store, each event corresponding to a portion of raw machine data that is produced by a component of an information technology environment, and each event including a timestamp associated with the portion of raw machine data corresponding to the event;
causing display of the accessed set of events in a graphical user interface;
receiving a first user selection of a particular event of the displayed set of events via the graphical user interface;
causing display of a set of options such that the set of options is displayed without navigating away from the displayed set of events in the graphical user interface, wherein a particular option from the displayed set of options specifies a relative time that is in relation to and automatically determined from the timestamp of the selected particular event;
receiving a second user selection of the displayed particular option via the graphical user interface;
in response to receiving the second user selection, determining from a plurality of events, a subset of the plurality of events based on identifying that the timestamp of each event of the subset corresponds to the relative time;
and
causing updating of the displayed set of events such that the determined subset of events is displayed in the graphical user interface.

A computer-implemented system comprising:

one or more computing devices configured to perform operations comprising:
accessing a set of events in a data store, each event corresponding to a portion of raw machine data that is produced by a component of an information technology environment, and each event including a timestamp associated with the portion of raw machine data corresponding to the event;
causing display of the accessed set of events in a graphical user interface;
receiving a first user selection of a particular event of the displayed set of events via the graphical user interface;
causing display of a set of options such that the set of options is displayed without navigating away from the displayed set of events in the graphical user interface, wherein a particular option from the displayed set of options specifies a relative time that is in relation to and automatically determined from the timestamp of the selected particular event;
receiving a second user selection of the displayed particular option via the graphical user interface;
in response to receiving the second user selection, determining from a plurality of events, a subset of the plurality of events based on identifying that the timestamp of each event of the subset corresponds to the relative time;
and
causing updating of the displayed set of events such that the determined subset of events is displayed in the graphical user interface.

6 more elements

One or more computer-readable storage media comprising instructions that are stored thereon that, responsive to execution by a computing device, causes the computing device to perform operations comprising:

accessing a set of events in a data store, each event corresponding to a portion of raw machine data that is produced by a component of an information technology environment, and each event including a timestamp associated with the portion of raw machine data corresponding to the event;
causing display of the accessed set of events in a graphical user interface;
receiving a first user selection of a particular event of the displayed set of events via the graphical user interface;
causing display of a set of options such that the set of options is displayed without navigating away from the displayed set of events in the graphical user interface, wherein a particular option from the displayed set of options specifies a relative time that is in relation to and automatically determined from the timestamp of the selected particular event;
receiving a second user selection of the displayed particular option via the graphical user interface;
in response to receiving the second user selection, determining from a plurality of events, a subset of the plurality of events based on identifying that the timestamp of each event of the subset corresponds to the relative time;
and
causing updating of the displayed set of events such that the determined subset of events is displayed in the graphical user interface.
