Graphically Selectable Filter Parameters for Field Data in a Set of Machine Data

摘要

The disclosure relates to certain system and method embodiments for generating reports from unstructured data. In one embodiment, a method can include identifying events matching criteria of an initial search query (each of the events including a portion of raw machine data that is associated with a time), identifying a set of fields, each field defined for one or more of the identified events, causing display of an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) that includes one or more interactive elements enabling a user to define a report for providing information relating to the matching events (each interactive element enabling processing or presentation of information in the matching events using one or more fields in the identified set of fields), receiving, via the GUI, a report definition indicating how to report information relating to the matching events, and generating, based on the report definition, a report including information relating to the matching events.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
causing display of a graphical control for selecting a first field, from a plurality of fields, to be used in a graphical visualization, each field in the plurality of fields present in a set of machine data; causing display of a second graphical control for selecting a filter for filtering data from the first field extracted from the set of machine data; in response to receiving selection of the filter, filtering data from the first field extracted from the set of machine data using the filter; causing display of the graphical visualization using the filtered data.
