Abstract
An asset monitoring and reporting system (AMRS) implements an interface to establish an asset hierarchy to be monitored and reported against. The interface employs a search query of extant asset data from which definitional aspects of the asset hierarchy can be identified, and therefrom the interface automatically determines control information reflective of the asset hierarchy to direct the ongoing operation of the AMRS. The asset or component hierarchy may further inform operations related to the generation and display of a user interface presenting widgets that graphically depict information about one or more such components during AMRS operation.
Claims30
A method comprising:
- performing search processing against data including machine data ingested from one or more devices of a system producing data reflecting states of components of a physical plant, each component an asset;
- causing display of a user interface having one or more widgets, each widget providing a numerical or graphical representation of one or more values of a corresponding metric of a particular one of said components, the particular one of said components included in a component hierarchy, the one or more values representing a point in time or a period of time and derived at least in part from said search processing as against machine data produced by or about the particular one of said components;
- wherein the component hierarchy is derived from:
- a result of a definition-time search of machine data pertaining to the component hierarchy;
- and
- a user indication of a component identifier field and a component parent identifier field in the result of the definition-time search;
- wherein the machine data pertaining to the component hierarchy is from one or more components of a system producing component data;
- and
- wherein the method is performed by one or more processors.
A system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processing device coupled with the memory to perform operations comprising:
- performing search processing against data including machine data ingested from one or more devices of a system producing data reflecting states of components of a physical plant, each component an asset;
- causing display of a user interface having one or more widgets, each widget providing a numerical or graphical representation of one or more values of a corresponding metric of a particular one of said components, the particular one of said components included in a component hierarchy, the one or more values representing a point in time or a period of time and derived at least in part from said search processing as against machine data produced by or about the particular one of said components;
- wherein the component hierarchy is derived from:
- a result of a definition-time search of machine data pertaining to the component hierarchy;
- and
- a user indication of a component identifier field and a component parent identifier field in the result of the definition-time search;
- wherein the machine data pertaining to the component hierarchy is from one or more components of a system producing component data.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium encoding instructions thereon that, in response to execution by one or more processing devices, cause the one or more processing devices to perform operations comprising:
- performing search processing against data including machine data ingested from one or more devices of a system producing data reflecting states of components of a physical plant, each component an asset;
- causing display of a user interface having one or more widgets, each widget providing a numerical or graphical representation of one or more values of a corresponding metric of a particular one of said components, the particular one of said components included in a component hierarchy, the one or more values representing a point in time or a period of time and derived at least in part from said search processing as against machine data produced by or about the particular one of said components;
- wherein the component hierarchy is derived from:
- a result of a definition-time search of machine data pertaining to the component hierarchy;
- and
- a user indication of a component identifier field and a component parent identifier field in the result of the definition-time search;
- wherein the machine data pertaining to the component hierarchy is from one or more components of a system producing component data.
