Systems and methods are disclosed for generating one or more files to visualize query results. The systems and methods can include parsing one or more files that include one or more queries and computer-executable instructions for displaying results of the one or more queries. The one or more queries can identify a set of data to be processed and a manner of processing the set of data. The systems and methods can further include generating one or more files that include the results of the queries and computer-executable instructions for displaying one or more visualizations of the results.

Generating files for visualizing query results

A system that enables a user to configure alert actions based on search results generated by a query is disclosed. During operation, the system presents an alert user interface (UI) to a user, wherein the alert UI enables the user to configure one or more alert actions to be performed based on the search results. Next, the system receives alert configuration information from the user through the alert UI, wherein the alert configuration information includes tokens representing parameters associated with the query and the search results. Then, while generating an alert associated with the search results, the system performs a token substitution operation that substitutes tokens in the alert configuration information with corresponding parameters from the search results to generate a payload that is communicated to alert-generating functionality. This token substitution allows the parameters to be used by the alert-generating functionality while performing the one or more alert actions.

Executing alert actions based on search query results

Systems and methods are disclosed for associating summarizations of visualizations of a data set based on affinities between the summarizations. For a data set, a number of summarizations may be created that summarizes the data set in different ways. The summarizations may be linked, such that selecting a data element of a first summarization causes display of a second summarization. To assist in linking of summarizations, suggested linkings between summarizations can be determined based on affinities of the two summarizations. Affinities can reflect similarities in the data content of the two summarizations, such as an output of a first summarization being a valid input to the second summarization.

Determining affinities for data set summarizations

Custom communication alert techniques are described. In one or more implementations, a triggering condition is detected by one or more computing devices that is found by searching data using one or more extraction rules of a late-binding schema. Responsive to the detection of the triggering condition of the alert, a communication is formed by the one or more computing devices that corresponds to the alert and that includes one or more tokens based on one or more values of the data taken from fields defined by the one or more extraction rules. The communication is caused to be transmitted by the one or more computing device via a network for receipt by at least one computing device of an intended recipient of the communication.

Dynamic alert messages using tokens based on searching events

Provided are systems and methods for determining and displaying automatically binned information via a graphical user interface. A graphical user interface (GUI) may include a first graphical element representing a first metric value for a first time window and a second graphical element representing a second metric value for a second time window. An indication of a selection of the first time window may be received via the GUI. An updated GUI comprising a third graphical element representing a third metric value for the third time window and a fourth graphical element representing the fourth metric value for the fourth time window may be displayed, wherein the third time window and the fourth time window may be sub-ranges of the first time window.

Binning information associated with ranges of time

Embodiments of the disclosure are systems and methods for updating third party visualizations in response to a query. In one embodiment, a method is provided that includes receiving input data comprising events, where the events comprise time-stamped machine- generated data. The method also comprises receiving a modular visualization that includes a variable field associated with a visualization and instructions for rendering the visualization using the input data and the variable field. Further, the method comprises rendering the visualization based on the input data and a value associated with the variable field. Additionally, the method comprises updating the value of the variable field and obtaining updated input data using a search query that is generated using the updated value. The visualization is re-rendered based on the updated input data and the updated value.

Systems and methods for rendering a third party visualization in response to events received from search queries

The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that generates an alert based on information extracted from search results generated by a query. During operation, the system executes the query to generate the search results. The system also obtains configuration information for the alert, wherein the configuration information identifies information associated with the search results, and also specifies a trigger condition for the alert. Next, when the trigger condition for the alert is met, the system uses the configuration information to generate a payload containing the identified information associated with the search results. The system then invokes alert-generating functionality and provides the payload as input to the alert-generating functionality. This enables the alert-generating functionality to use the information from the search results while performing one or more alert actions association with the alert.

User configurable alert notifications applicable to search query results

In various implementations, search results corresponding to a search query are obtained. A data visualization is generated from the search results. The generated data visualization is pushed to a registered display of a display device, where the pushing causes presentation of the generated data visualization on the registered display. An alert configuration interface may be caused to be presented on a display management device. From the displayed alert configuration interface, user input indicating an assignment of a set of trigger conditions to a display alert may be received. The display alert can be pushed to the registered display based on determining the set of trigger conditions is satisfied. The pushed display alert may be presented over the data visualization on the registered display.

Pushing presented data visualizations to assigned displays

A search and data analysis collaboration system is described. The search and data analysis collaboration system enables users to search for and process stored data, and further includes a home page component that can help guide users embarking on data analyses; a discovery component that enables users to discover what data is available for search and analysis; a search component that enables users to efficiently search accessible data and to iterate on search queries and corresponding results; a workbooks component that enables users to create aggregated collections of data analysis artifacts; and an actions component that enables users to configure various actions to be performed in response to analyses.
