An indication is received on a graphical user interface (GUI) to generate a bubblegram associated with the path, wherein the bubblegram comprises one or more bubbles, each bubble representing a particular dimension associated with the selected path. The one or more bubbles are rendered on the GUI according to a performed ranking of the one or more bubbles. A bubble is selected to generate a filter for the path based on the dimension associated with the bubble. A subsequent bubblegram is rendered based on a narrowed set of the selected log data. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer-implemented method, comprising: defining a filter path associated with a set of selected log data, wherein the filter path is user-selected and specifies a series of one or more filters used to generate a particular subset of the log data associated with the filter path; receiving an indication on a graphical user interface (GUI) to generate a bubblegram associated with the filter path, wherein the bubblegram comprises one or more bubbles, each bubble representing a particular dimension associated with the filter path, and the one or more bubbles are distributed using a distribution value; rendering the one or more bubbles on the GUI according to a performed ranking of the one or more bubbles, wherein higher ranking bubbles are displayed closer to a middle of the bubblegram than lower ranking bubbles; receiving a user input comprising a selection of a bubble indicating a filter to be added to the filter path based on a dimension of the bubble, the filter defining a narrowed set of the selected log data; and rendering a subsequent bubblegram based on the narrowed set of the selected log data. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein each bubble indicates a total count of event values associated with the particular dimension represented by the bubble and a count of distinct values within the total count. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein a size of a particular bubble in relation to other bubbles indicates a ranking of the particular bubble in relation to the other bubbles, the size being adjustable based on a total number of the one or more bubbles within the bubblegram. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein a position of a particular bubble in relation to other bubbles indicates a ranking of the particular bubble in relation to the other bubbles. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein color is used with a bubble to indicate attributes or properties associated with a particular dimension. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, comprising: positioning the selected bubble in the center of the bubblegram; enlarging the selected bubble; and rendering a set of arcs in a circular pattern surrounding the selected bubble, each arc representing a particular attribute associated with the dimension associated with the selected bubble. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The computer-implemented method of claim 1, further comprising: processing the narrowed set of the selected log data using forensic-type data analysis tools. ### Claim 8 A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions executable by a computer system to perform operations comprising: defining a filter path associated with a set of selected log data, wherein the filter path is user-selected and specifies a series of one or more filters used to generate a particular subset of the log data associated with the filter path; receiving an indication on a graphical user interface (GUI) to generate a bubblegram associated with the filter path, wherein the bubblegram comprises one or more bubbles, each bubble representing a particular dimension associated with the filter path, and the one or more bubbles are distributed using a distribution value; rendering the one or more bubbles on the GUI according to a performed ranking of the one or more bubbles, wherein higher ranking bubbles are displayed closer to a middle of the bubblegram than lower ranking bubbles; receiving a user input comprising a selection of a bubble indicating a filter to be added to the filter path based on a dimension of the bubble, the filter defining a narrowed set of the selected log data; and rendering a subsequent bubblegram based on the narrowed set of the selected log data. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8, wherein each bubble indicates a total count of event values associated with the particular dimension represented by the bubble and a count of distinct values within the total count. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8, wherein a size of a particular bubble in relation to other bubbles indicates a ranking of the particular bubble in relation to the other bubbles. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8, wherein a position of a particular bubble in relation to other bubbles indicates a ranking of the particular bubble in relation to the other bubbles, the size being adjustable based on a total number of the one or more bubbles within the bubblegram. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8, wherein color is used with a bubble to indicate attributes or properties associated with a particular dimension. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 8, comprising one or more instructions to: position the selected bubble in the center of the bubblegram; enlarge the selected bubble; and render a set of arcs in a circular pattern surrounding the selected bubble, each arc representing a particular attribute associated with the dimension associated with the selected bubble. ### Claim 14 A computer-implemented system, comprising: a computer memory; and a hardware processor interoperably coupled with the computer memory and configured to perform operations comprising: defining a filter path associated with a set of selected log data, wherein the filter path is user-selected and specifies a series of one or more filters used to generate a particular subset of the log data associated with the filter path; receiving an indication on a graphical user interface (GUI) to generate a bubblegram associated with the filter path, wherein the bubblegram comprises one or more bubbles, each bubble representing a particular dimension associated with the filter path, and the one or more bubbles are distributed using a distribution value; rendering the one or more bubbles on the GUI according to a performed ranking of the one or more bubbles, wherein higher ranking bubbles are displayed closer to a middle of the bubblegram than lower ranking bubbles; receiving a user input comprising a selection of a bubble indicating a filter to be added to the filter path based on a dimension of the bubble, the filter defining a narrowed set of the selected log data; and rendering a subsequent bubblegram based on the narrowed set of the selected log data. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The computer-implemented system of claim 14, wherein each bubble indicates a total count of event values associated with the particular dimension represented by the bubble and a count of distinct values within the total count. ### Claim 16 (depends on 14) The computer-implemented system of claim 14, wherein a size of a particular bubble and a position of a particular bubble in relation to other bubbles indicates a ranking of the particular bubble in relation to the other bubbles, the size being adjustable based on a total number of the one or more bubbles within the bubblegram. ### Claim 17 (depends on 14) The computer-implemented system of claim 14, wherein color is used with a bubble to indicate attributes or properties associated with a particular dimension. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The computer-implemented system of claim 14, configured to: position the selected bubble in the center of the bubblegram; enlarge the selected bubble; and render a set of arcs in a circular pattern surrounding the selected bubble, each arc representing a particular attribute associated with the dimension associated with the selected bubble.
