Abstract
Improved techniques for processing machine data are disclosed. Embodiments are operable to receive machine data input, interpret its meaning, and then represent that meaning in a knowledge base that grows over time with each new entry. The knowledge base enables extension of both syntax and lexicon, which are the main determinants of meaning. As new entries are added, the knowledge in the knowledge base grows. Over time, the knowledge base acquires more meaning. The disclosed machine data processing system includes entry type recognition, mapping entry types to semantic events, and building entries in the knowledge base based on the semantic event-entry type mapping. Data generated by this process may be used to conduct searches for patterns of semantic events across multiple different machine data sources. This information may then be used to perform useful work such as detecting security threats, identifying operational problems, or tracking customer purchases, etc.
