Supplementing extraction rules based on event clustering
Systems and methods include causing presentation of a first cluster in association with an event of the first cluster, the first cluster from a first set of clusters of events. Each event includes a time stamp and event data. Based on the presentation of the first cluster, an extraction rule corresponding to the event of the first cluster is received from a user. Similarities in the event data between the events are determined based on the received extraction rule. The events are grouped into a second set of clusters based on the determined similarities. Presentation is caused of a second cluster in association with an event of the second cluster, where the second cluster is from the second set of clusters.
