Circular timeline displays of timestamped event data
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving a request to display a plurality of timestamped events, each timestamped event of the plurality of timestamped events parsed from data related to performance and/or security characteristics of one or more computing devices of an information technology environment;
generating a circular timeline display displaying a period of time including a start time and an end time;
generating, for all events of a subset of the plurality of timestamped events, an arc within the circular timeline display representative of a respective event of the subset of timestamped events, wherein each respective arc comprises;
a beginning at a first location within the circular timeline display that is indicative of a start timestamp of the respective event relative to the start time and the end time;
an ending at a second location within the circular timeline display that is indicative of an end timestamp of the respective event relative to the start time and the end time; and
a length that is indicative of a duration between the start timestamp and the end timestamp of the respective event relative to the period of time displayed by the circular timeline display; and
causing display of a graphical user interface including the circular timeline display.

Abstract
Techniques and mechanisms are disclosed that enable a data intake and query system to generate and cause display of circular timelines of timestamped event data. As used herein, a circular timeline generally refers to a graphical display of timestamped events stored by a data intake and query system, wherein the timestamped events may be displayed as arcs of one or more concentric circles and located in a circular timeline area according to a chronological ordering associated with the events. One or more display attributes of each arc may further depend on other data associated with the corresponding events. For example, each arc of a circular time may be displayed at a particular radial distance, with a particular thickness, using a particular shading and/or color, etc., depending on various data values associated with the one or more events represented by the arc.

20. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, storing instructions, which when executed by one or more processors causes:
-
receiving a request to display a plurality of timestamped events, each timestamped event of the plurality of timestamped events parsed from data related to performance and/or security characteristics of one or more computing devices of an information technology environment; generating a circular timeline display displaying a period of time including a start time and an end time; generating, for all events of a subset of the plurality of timestamped events, an arc within the circular timeline display representative of a respective event of the subset of timestamped events, wherein each respective arc comprises; a beginning at a first location within the circular timeline display that is indicative of a start timestamp of the respective event relative to the start time and the end time; an ending at a second location within the circular timeline display that is indicative of an end timestamp of the respective event relative to the start time and the end time; and a length that is indicative of a duration between the start timestamp and the end timestamp of the respective event relative to the period of time displayed by the circular timeline display; and causing display of a graphical user interface including the circular timeline display. - View Dependent Claims (21, 23)

22. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a physical data store including computer-executable instructions; and one or more physical processors configured to execute the computer-executable instructions, wherein execution of the computer-executable instructions causes the apparatus to; receive a request to display a plurality of timestamped events, each timestamped event of the plurality of timestamped events parsed from data related to performance and/or security characteristics of one or more computing devices of an information technology environment; generate a circular timeline display displaying a period of time including a start time and an end time; generate, for all events of a subset of the plurality of timestamped events, an arc within the circular timeline display representative of a respective event of the subset of timestamped events, wherein each respective arc comprises; a beginning at a first location within the circular timeline display that is indicative of a start timestamp of the respective event relative to the start time and the end time; an ending at a second location within the circular timeline display that is indicative of an end timestamp of the respective event relative to the start time and the end time; and a length that is indicative of a duration between the start timestamp and the end timestamp of the respective event relative to the period of time displayed by the circular timeline display; and cause display of a graphical user interface including the circular timeline display.
