Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a data analysis system that may receive data comprising a plurality of raw data items from one or more data sources, such as a monitoring agent located in a monitored network. The received data may be scored using one or more scoring rules and/or algorithms, with raw data items satisfying a score threshold designated as “data item leads.” Raw data items associated with a data item lead may be searched and displayed to the user via an interactive user interface. The data analysis system may be used to execute searches and additional enrichments against the received raw data items. The data analysis system may group received raw data items based upon shared attribute values. The data analysis system may be used to categorize received data and construct timelines, histograms, and/or other visualizations based upon the various attributes of the raw data items.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer system comprising:
one or more computer readable storage devices configured to store:
computer executable instructions; and
data items, wherein a data item is associated with one or more attributes; and

one or more hardware computer processors in communication with the one or more computer readable storage devices and configured to execute the computer executable instructions to cause the computer system to:
identify a data item lead from the data items;
receive one or more search parameters;
query the data items based at least in part upon the received one or more search parameters;
based at least in part on the query, access a first group of data items;
generate a graphical user interface comprising:
a plurality of tabs that are each associated with respective subsets of the first group of data items, wherein one of the plurality of tabs comprises a currently displayed tab;
a table corresponding to the currently displayed tab, wherein the table includes, in a tabular format, at least a first portion of the first group of data items associated with the currently displayed tab and not others of the plurality of tabs; and
a timeline corresponding to at least two of the plurality of tabs, wherein the timeline includes at least a second portion of the first group of data items organized based at least in part on a time-based attribute of the data items, wherein the data items included in the timeline are associated with at least two of the plurality of tabs;

receive, via the graphical user interface, a user selection of at least a portion of the timeline corresponding to a selected time frame; and
in response to receiving the user selection, update the table such that the table includes only data items of the first portion of the first group of data items corresponding to the selected time frame associated with the user selection, wherein the table includes a reduced set of data items based on the selected time frame and associated with the currently displayed tab and not others of the plurality of tabs.

2. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein a data item of the data items corresponds to an occurrence of a process on a device on a monitored network.

3. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein identifying a data item lead comprises:
receiving the data items from at least one data source;
analyzing or filtering the data items;
enriching the data items;
calculating scores for the data items; and
identifying a data item lead of the data items based at least in part on the data item lead having a score satisfying a threshold.

4. The computer system of claim 3 , wherein analyzing or filtering the data items comprises running the data items against a whitelist.

5. The computer system of claim 3 , wherein enriching the data items comprises performing an external analysis on the data items using one or more third party analysis systems.

6. The computer system of claim 3 , wherein enriching the data items comprises determining a frequency or distribution of an event associated with a data item of the data items.

7. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the computer executable instructions are configured to further cause the computer system to:
perform an aggregation of data items of the first group of data items based at least in part upon an attribute value.

8. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the first group of data items comprises data items of two or more data types.

9. The computer system of claim 8 , wherein the data items are separated into two or more tabs of the plurality of tabs based upon a type of the data items.

10. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the currently displayed tab, an indication of a plurality of tabs, the table, and the timeline are displayed in the graphical user interface simultaneously.

11. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the data items displayed in the timeline include the data items that are associated with a currently displayed tab.

12. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the data items displayed by the timeline include data items associated with all tabs of the two or more tabs.

13. The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the second portion of the first group of data items includes the first portion of the first group of data items and additional data items.

14. A computer-implemented method comprising:
by one or more hardware computer processors configured to execute computer executable instructions:
identifying a data item lead from data items;
receiving one or more search parameters;
querying the data items based at least in part upon the received one or more search parameters;
based at least in part on the querying, accessing a first group of data items;
generating a graphical user interface comprising:
a plurality of tabs that are each associated with respective subsets of the first group of data items, wherein one of the plurality of tabs comprises a currently displayed tab;
a table corresponding to the currently displayed tab, wherein the table includes, in a tabular format, at least a first portion of the first group of data items associated with the currently displayed tab and not others of the plurality of tabs; and
a timeline corresponding to at least two of the plurality of tabs, wherein the timeline includes at least a second portion of the first group of data items organized based at least in part on a time-based attribute of the data items, wherein the data items included in the timeline are associated with at least two of the plurality of tabs;

receiving, via the graphical user interface, a user selection of at least a portion of the timeline corresponding to a selected time frame; and
in response to receiving the user selection, updating the table such that the table includes only data items of the first portion of the first group of data items corresponding to the selected time frame associated with the user selection, wherein the table includes a reduced set of data items based on the selected time frame and associated with the currently displayed tab and not others of the plurality of tabs.

15. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein the first group of data items comprises data items of two or more data types.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 15 , wherein the data items are separated into two or more tabs of the plurality of tabs based upon a type of the data items.

17. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein the data items displayed in the timeline are associated with all tabs of the plurality of tabs.

18. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein the data items displayed in the timeline include the data items that are associated with a currently displayed tab.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including computer executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
identify a data item lead from data items;
receive one or more search parameters;
query the data items based at least in part upon the received one or more search parameters;
based at least in part on the query, access a first group of data items;
generate a graphical user interface comprising:
a plurality of tabs that are each associated with respective subsets of the first group of data items, wherein one of the plurality of tabs comprises a currently displayed tab;
a table corresponding to the currently displayed tab, wherein the table includes, in a tabular format, at least a first portion of the first group
