Abstract
Described herein are technologies that facilitate effective use (e.g., indexing and searching) of non-text machine data (e.g., audio/visual data) in an event-based machine-data intake and query system.
Claims30
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- generating a set of events from non-text machine data, each event including a reference to at least a portion of the non-text machine data associated with a timestamp, the non-text machine data comprising images, video, audio, or a combination thereof;
- executing a query on the set of events in a data store, the executing comprising:
- in response to a command specified in the query, automatically analyzing the portion of the non-text machine data of each event of a plurality of the events to generate one or more annotations of the portion of the non-text machine data of the event and automatically assigning the one or more annotations as one or more field values of one or more fields of the event as defined by the command, wherein the one or more field values describe content of the portion of the non-text machine data associated with the event;
- and
- generating query results responsive to the query using the one or more annotations of one or more of the plurality of the events.
2 more elements
A system for searching data, the system comprising:
- one or more data processors;
- and
- one or more computer-readable storage media containing instructions which when executed on the one or more data processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:
- generating a set of events from non-text machine data, each event including a reference to at least a portion of the non-text machine data associated with a timestamp, the non-text machine data comprising images, video, audio, or a combination thereof;
- executing a query on the set of events in a data store, the executing comprising:
- in response to a command specified in the query, automatically analyzing the portion of the non-text machine data of each event of a plurality of the events to generate one or more annotations of the portion of the non-text machine data of the event and automatically assigning the one or more annotations as one or more field values of one or more fields of the event as defined by the command, wherein the one or more field values describe content of the portion of the non-text machine data associated with the event;
- and
- generating query results responsive to the query using the one or more annotations of one or more of the plurality of the events.
5 more elements
One or more non-transitory computer-storage media storing computer-useable instructions that, when executed by a computing device, perform a method for searching data, the method comprising:
- generating a set of events from non-text machine data, each event including a reference to at least a portion of the non-text machine data associated with a timestamp, the non-text machine data comprising images, video, audio, or a combination thereof;
- executing a query on the set of events in a data store, the executing comprising:
- in response to a command specified in the query, automatically analyzing the portion of the non-text machine data of each event of a plurality of the events to generate one or more annotations of the portion of the non-text machine data of the event and automatically assigning the one or more annotations as one or more field values of one or more fields of the event as defined by the command, wherein the one or more field values describe content of the portion of the non-text machine data associated with the event;
- and
- generating query results responsive to the query using the one or more annotations of one or more of the plurality of the events.
