Abstract

In some embodiments, a method may include display of a data summary view of a set of events that correspond to query results of a query. Each event of the set of events may include data items of a plurality of event attributes. In embodiments, the data summary view can include various summary reports. Each summary report can include summary entries and a summary graph that each present a summary of data items of a selected event attribute, of the plurality of event attributes. At least one summary report can include summary entries that are selectable by a user. The method may further include filtering the set of event, in response to, and based on, selection of one or more of the selectable summary entries by the user and updating of at least the first and second summary graphs to correspond to the filtered set of events.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
causing a user interface to present rows of search results and columns displaying textual values of attributes of the search results; and
in response to receiving input instructing presentation of a summarized view of the search results, causing the user interface to replace the textual values in each individual column of one or more columns of the columns with a corresponding panel that is confined to the individual column and displays a graph that plots changes over time of a measure of how frequently one or more distinct values of the textual values appeared in a corresponding attribute represented by the individual column.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the corresponding panel confined to each individual column displays a list of the one or more distinct values of the textual values of the corresponding attribute based on a determination that a number or percentage of occurrences of each of the one or more distinct values in the corresponding attribute exceeds an occurrence threshold.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising, in response to detecting a click or a tap on a representation of a value of the one or more distinct values displayed in the corresponding panel in a particular column of the one or more columns, filtering the search results into a filtered set of the search results that have the value in the corresponding attribute represented by the particular column.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more columns include a particular column and other columns, the computer-implemented method further comprising, in response to detecting a click or a tap in the corresponding panel in the particular column on a representation of one or more values, updating the graph in each of the other columns to represent a filtered set of the search results that have one of the one or more values in the corresponding attribute represented by the particular column.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising, in response to detecting a click or a tap in the corresponding panel in a first column on a representation of one or more values, updating the graph in another column to represent a filtered set of the search results that have one of the one or more values in the corresponding attribute represented by the first column.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein selection of a control on the user interface causes the user interface to replace the corresponding panel in each individual column with the textual values of the corresponding attribute represented by the column.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein selection of a particular column of the one or more columns causes the user interface to replace the corresponding panel in the particular column with the textual values of the corresponding attribute represented by the particular column and retain the corresponding panel in other columns.

8. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions executable by one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
causing a user interface to present rows of search results and columns displaying textual values of attributes of the search results; and
in response to receiving input instructing presentation of a summarized view of the search results, causing the user interface to replace the textual values in each individual column of one or more columns of the columns with a corresponding panel that is confined to the individual column and displays a graph that plots changes over time of a measure of how frequently one or more distinct values of the textual values appeared in a corresponding attribute represented by the individual column.

9. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein the corresponding panel confined to each individual column displays a list of the one or more distinct values of the textual values of the corresponding attribute based on a determination that a number or percentage of occurrences of each of the one or more distinct values in the corresponding attribute exceeds an occurrence threshold.

10. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , the operations further comprising, in response to detecting a click or a tap on a representation of a value of the one or more distinct values displayed in the corresponding panel in a particular column of the one or more columns, filtering the search results into a filtered set of the search results that have the value in the corresponding attribute represented by the particular column.

11. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein the one or more columns include a particular column and other columns, the operations further comprising, in response to detecting a click or a tap in the corresponding panel in the particular column on a representation of one or more values, updating the graph in each of the other columns to represent a filtered set of the search results that have one of the one or more values in the corresponding attribute represented by the particular column.

12. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , the operations further comprising, in response to detecting a click or a tap in the corresponding panel in a first column on a representation of one or more values, updating the graph in another column to represent a filtered set of the search results that have one of the one or more values in the corresponding attribute represented by the first column.

13. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein selection of a control on the user interface causes the user interface to replace the corresponding panel in each individual column with the textual values of the corresponding attribute represented by the column.

14. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable media of claim 8 , wherein selection of a particular column of the one or more columns causes the user interface to replace the corresponding panel in the particular column with the textual values of the corresponding attribute represented by the particular column and retain the corresponding panel in other columns.

15. A system comprising:
one or more processors and memory storing instructions executable by the one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
causing a user interface to present rows of search results and columns displaying textual values of attributes of the search results; and
in response to receiving input instructing presentation of a summarized view of the search results, causing the user interface to replace the textual values in each individual column of one or more columns of the columns with a corresponding panel that is confined to the individual column and displays a graph that plots changes over time of a measure of how frequently one or more distinct values of the textual values appeared in a corresponding attribute represented by the individual column.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the corresponding panel confined to each individual column displays a list of the one or more distinct values of the textual values of the corresponding attribute based on a determination that a number or percentage of occurrences of each of the one or more distinct values in the corresponding attribute exceeds an occurrence threshold.

17. The system of claim 15 , the operations further comprisi
