Systems and methods for exploratory analysis of data for event management

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for exploratory analysis of event messages. The invention includes a parsing engine to translate textual messages into structured event data, a selection and control engine (SCE) to provide data management and communication channels for a set of analysis methods, and viewers to support different kinds of analysis methods. The invention further includes a mechanism for viewers to exchange information, a mechanism for interactively and iteratively refining parsing rules, and a mechanism to visualize events through event graphs.
