Abstract

Claims (41)

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving, at a computing device, first input indicating a selection of a segment in event raw data of an event in a display of a set of events in a search interface;

causing, in response to the first input indicating the selection of the segment in the event raw data of the event, display of selectable search options;

receiving second input corresponding to a selection of a search option of the selectable search options; and

causing, in response to the second input, display of a second set of events corresponding to the search option.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the second set of events is retrieved by executing a search command that is generated based on the selected search option operating on the segment.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the set of events are a results set of performing an initial search command displayed in the search interface.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the selectable search options are displayed within a menu that is proximate to the selected segment within the search interface.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the selectable search options include an add to search option, an exclude from search option, or a new search option.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the selectable search options include an add to search option that is selectable to automatically add text defining search criteria to a search command.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the selectable search options include an exclude from search option that is selectable to automatically add text defining search criteria to a search command.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the selectable search options include a new search option that is selectable to automatically create a new data search based on the selected segment.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the display of the selectable search options further includes an indication of a number of events of the set of events that include the selected segment.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the display of the selectable search options further includes an indication of a number of events of the set of events that exclude the selected segment.

11. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the selectable search options are further displayed with selectable interface links each associated with a particular search option of the selectable search options, and wherein a selectable interface link, when activated, initiates a new search interface.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

causing highlighting of the segment in the event raw data of the event.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the set of events are returned as a search result, the set of events being identified from collected data that comprises at least one of raw data, machine data, performance data, log data, diagnostic information, transformed data, or mashup data combined from multiple sources.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the set of events are returned as a search result performed using a late-binding schema on data collected from one or more sources, and wherein the event comprises a portion of raw data that is associated with a timestamp indicating a respective point in time associated with the event.

15. A computer-implemented system, comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more computer-readable media storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving, at a computing device, first input indicating a selection of a segment in event raw data of an event in a display of a set of events in a search interface;

causing, in response to the first input indicating the selection of the segment in the event raw data of the event, display of selectable search options;

receiving second input corresponding to a selection of a search option of the selectable search options; and

causing, in response to the second input, display of a second set of events corresponding to the search option.

16. The computer-implemented system of claim 15 , wherein the second set of events is retrieved by executing a search command that is generated based on the selected search option operating on the segment.

17. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving, at a computing device, first input indicating a selection of a portion of a field-value pair from an event in a display of a set of events in a search interface, the field-value pair including a field name and a value for the field;

causing, in response to the first input indicating the selection of the segment in the event raw data of the event, display of selectable search options;

receiving second input corresponding to a selection of a search option of the selectable search options; and

causing, in response to the second input, display of a second set of events corresponding to the search option.

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 17 , wherein the second set of events is retrieved by executing a search command that is generated based on the selected search option operating on the portion of the field-value pair.

19. A computer-implemented system, comprising:

one or more processors; and

one or more computer-readable media storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving, at a computing device, first input indicating a selection of a portion of a field-value pair from an event in a display of a set of events in a search interface, the field-value pair including a field name and a value for the field;

causing, in response to the first input indicating the selection of the portion of the field-value pair from the event, display of selectable search options;

receiving second input corresponding to a selection of a search option of the selectable search options; and

causing, in response to the second input, display of a second set of events corresponding to the search option.

20. The computer-implemented system of claim 19 , wherein the second set of events is retrieved by executing a search command that is generated based on the selected search option operating on the portion of the field-value pair.
