An example method for managing datasets produced by alert-triggering search queries may include producing a dataset by executing a search query on a portion of data associated with a time window defined relative to a current time. The method may further include responsive to determining that a portion of the dataset satisfies a condition defining an alert, generating an instance of the alert. The method may further include associating, by a memory data structure, the instance of the alert with an identifier of the query and a parameter specifying a time of execution of the query that has triggered the instance. The method may further include receiving a request for the dataset portion. The method may further include substituting, in a definition of the time window, the current time with the time parameter. The method may further include reproducing the dataset portion by re-executing the query using the time window.

Techniques and mechanisms are disclosed that enable collection of various types of data from cloud computing services and the generation of various dashboards and visualizations to view information about collections of cloud computing resources. A user can configure collection of data from one or more cloud computing services and view visualizations using an application platform referred to herein as a cloud computing management application. A cloud computing management application further may be configured to generate and cause display of interactive topology map representations of cloud computing resources based on the collected data, where an interactive topology map enables users to view an intuitive visualization of a collection of computing resources, efficiently cause performance of actions with respect to various resources displayed in the topology map, and analyze the collection of resources in ways that are not possible using conventional cloud computing service management consoles.

Systems and methods for presenting and sorting summaries of alerts triggered by search queries in data aggregation and analysis systems. An example method may comprise: causing, by one or more processing devices, one or more alert summaries to be displayed, each alert summary corresponding to an alert and representing one or more instances of the alert, the alert defined by a search query and a triggering condition; wherein an instance of the alert corresponds to a particular dataset that (i) is generated by executing the search query over time-series data falling within a particular time range in a set of time ranges over which the search query has been instructed to search, and (ii) satisfies the triggering condition for the alert; wherein an alert summary includes an indication of at least one of: a total count of alert instances generated by the alert, or a count of alert instances generated by the alert that have not been viewed by a user.

Techniques and mechanisms are disclosed that enable a data intake and query system to generate and cause display of circular timelines of timestamped event data. As used herein, a circular timeline generally refers to a graphical display of timestamped events stored by a data intake and query system, wherein the timestamped events may be displayed as arcs of one or more concentric circles and located in a circular timeline area according to a chronological ordering associated with the events. One or more display attributes of each arc may further depend on other data associated with the corresponding events. For example, each arc of a circular time may be displayed at a particular radial distance, with a particular thickness, using a particular shading and/or color, etc., depending on various data values associated with the one or more events represented by the arc.

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for searching information. The method is for, in response to receipt of a keyword from a search user of a plurality of users, searching in an information repository to obtain one or more information items to be returned; and returning the information item to the search user based on an importance of each information item of the one or more information items. With the method, it is possible to fully leverage various objective internal relationships between search users, information items and creators and thus improve the search accuracy.
