Interactive parallel coordinates visualizations

A computer system comprising:

• processor;
• and
• a storage device having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor cause the system to:
• in response to a search query, retrieve search results including a plurality of events, each of the plurality of events containing time-stamped data;
• identify a plurality of characteristics from the time-stamped data corresponding to the plurality of events;
• cause display of an interactive multiple-dimensional chart based on the time-stamped data corresponding to the plurality of events, the interactive multiple-dimensional chart including a plurality of axes, each of the axes corresponding to one of the identified characteristics, the interactive multiple-dimensional chart further including a plurality of polylines representing the events, each of the polylines including a plurality of vertices on the axes, wherein causing display of the interactive multiple-dimensional chart includes:
• formatting the time-stamped data of the plurality of events into a data object that is readable by a code library for generating a static visualization;
• receiving state information that is indicative of a current state of display of the interactive multiple-dimensional chart, wherein use of the state information enables the interactive multiple-dimensional chart to be displayed at a plurality of different devices without saving a rendering of the interactive multiple-dimensional chart;
• and
• processing the data object using the code library to render the interactive multiple-dimensional chart based on the received state information;
• in response to a signal indicative of a user interaction with an individual axis of the plurality of axes of the interactive multiple-dimensional chart, identify a subset of the plurality of events that correspond with the individual axis;
• and
• cause dynamic update of display of the interactive multiple-dimensional chart based on a processing of the subset of the plurality of events.

A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions, execution of which in a computer system causes the computer system to:

• in response to a search query, retrieve search results including a plurality of events, each of the plurality of events containing time-stamped data;
• identify a plurality of characteristics from the time-stamped data corresponding to the plurality of events;
• cause display of an interactive multiple-dimensional chart based on the time-stamped data corresponding to the plurality of events, the interactive multiple-dimensional chart including a plurality of axes, each of the axes corresponding to one of the identified characteristics, the interactive multiple-dimensional chart further including a plurality of polylines representing the events, each of the polylines including a plurality of vertices on the axes, wherein causing display of the interactive multiple-dimensional chart includes:
• formatting the time-stamped data of the plurality of events into a data object that is readable by a code library for generating a static visualization;
• receiving state information that is indicative of a current state of display of the interactive multiple-dimensional chart, wherein use of the state information enables the interactive multiple-dimensional chart to be displayed at a plurality of different devices without saving a rendering of the interactive multiple-dimensional chart;
• and
• processing the data object using the code library to render the interactive multiple-dimensional chart based on the received state information;
• in response to a signal indicative of a user interaction with an individual axis of the plurality of axes of the interactive multiple-dimensional chart, identify a subset of the plurality of events that correspond with the individual axis;
• and
• cause dynamic update of display of the interactive multiple-dimensional chart based on a processing of the subset of the plurality of events.
