Disclosed herein is a computer-implemented tool that facilitates data analysis by use of machine learning (ML) techniques. The tool cooperates with a data intake and query system and provides a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables a user to train and apply a variety of different ML models on user-selected datasets of stored machine data. The tool can provide active guidance to the user, to help the user choose data analysis paths that are likely to produce useful results and to avoid data analysis paths that are less likely to produce useful results.

Automatic generation of data analysis queries

Techniques are described for providing a machine learning (ML) data analytics application including guided ML workflows that facilitate the end-to-end training and use of various types of ML models, where such guided workflows may also be referred to as ML 'experiments.' One such model is an outlier detection model to assist in the monitoring of computer network traffic and computer performance. For example, the ML data analytics application may generate an outlier detection model using user-identified data from a data source and parameter information. The generates outlier detection model can include distribution functions of distribution types selected from a plurality of distribution types by a distribution fitting algorithm.

Generating machine learning-based outlier detection models using timestamped event data

Operational machine components of an information technology (IT) or other microprocessor- or microcontroller-permeated environment generate disparate forms of machine data. Network connections are established between these components and processors of an automatic data intake and query system (DIQS). The DIQS conducts network transactions on a periodic and/or continuous basis with the machine components to receive the disparate data and ingest certain of the data as measurement entries of a DIQS metrics datastore that is searchable for DIQS query processing. The DIQS may receive search queries to process against the received and ingested data via an exposed network interface. In one example embodiment, a query building component conducts a user interface using a network attached client device. The query building component may elicit search criteria via the user interface using a natural language interface, construct a proper query therefrom, and present new information based on results returned from the DIQS.

Visualizing outliers from timestamped event data using machine learning-based models

Machine data of an operating environment is conveyed by a network to a data intake and query system (DIQS) which reflects the machine data as timestamped entries of a field-searchable datastore. Monitoring functionality may search the machine data to identify notable event instances. A notable event processing system correlates the notable event instance to one or more triaging models which are executed against the notable event to produce a modeled result. Information of the received notable event and the modeled results are combined into an enhanced representation of a notable event instance. The enhanced representation conditions downstream processing to automatically perform or assist triaging of notable event instances to optimize application of computing resources to highest priority conditions in the operating environment.

Machine learning-based data analyses for outlier detection

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to facilitating data preprocessing for machine learning. In accordance with aspects of the present disclosure, a training set of data is accessed. A preprocessing query specifying a set of preprocessing parameter values that indicate a manner in which to preprocess the training set of data is received. Based on the preprocessing query, a preprocessing operation is performed to preprocess the training set of data in accordance with the set of preprocessing parameter values to obtain a set of preprocessed data. The set of preprocessed data can be provided for presentation as a preview. Based on an acceptance of the set of preprocessed data, the set of preprocessed data is used to train a machine learning model that can be subsequently used to predict data.

Tool for machine-learning data analysis

Network connections are established between machines of an operating environment to be monitored and a server group of a data intake and query system (DIQS). Data reflecting machine and component operations of the environment is conveyed via the network to the DIQS where it is reflected as timestamped entries in a field-searchable datastore. Monitoring components may search the datastore and identify and record instances of notable events. Triaging models are selectively applied against the notable event instances to produce an enhanced notable event instance representation with modeled results effective to automatically perform or assist in triaging the notable events so they are dispatched in an optimal, effective, and efficient, manner.
