First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- acquiring, by a computer system, a plurality of performance measurements for a performance metric associated with at least one hardware or software component of an information technology (IT) environment;
acquiring, by the computer system, a plurality of portions of log data representing activity of at least one hardware or software component of the IT environment;
storing, by the computer system, the acquired performance measurements and the acquired portions of log data;
causing, by the computer system, display of a graphical user interface element;
inputting, by the computer system, a search criterion from a user via the graphical user interface element, the search criterion for use by the computer system as a portion of a search query;
generating, by the computer system, the search query in a search query language, the search query including the search criterion; and
correlating, by the computer system, at least one of the stored performance measurements with at least one of the stored portions of log data, based on the search criterion, wherein said correlating includesapplying the search query in the search query language to the stored performance measurements and stored portions of log data,causing display of an indication of a performance measurement that satisfies the search criterion, andcausing display of an indication of a portion of log data from the at least one log file, that satisfies the search criterion.

29. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium for use in a processing system of a data intake and query system, the non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions, an execution of which in the processing system causes the processing system to perform operations comprising:
-
acquiring a plurality of performance measurements for a performance metric associated with at least one hardware or software component of an information technology (IT) environment; acquiring a plurality of portions of log data representing activity of at least one hardware or software component of the IT environment; storing the acquired performance measurements and the acquired portions of log data; causing display of a graphical user interface element; inputting a search criterion from a user via the graphical user interface element, the search criterion for use by the computer system as a portion of a search query; generating the search query in a search query language, the search query including the search criterion; and correlating at least one of the stored performance measurements with at least one of the stored portions of log data, based on the search criterion, wherein said correlating includes applying the search query in the search query language to the stored performance measurements and stored portions of log data, causing display of an indication of a performance measurement that satisfies the search criterion, and causing display of an indication of a portion of log data from the at least one log file, that satisfies the search criterion.

30. A system comprising:
-
a communication device through which to communicate on a computer network; and at least one processor operatively coupled to the communication device and configured to perform operations including acquiring a plurality of performance measurements for a performance metric associated with at least one hardware or software component of an information technology (IT) environment; acquiring a plurality of portions of log data representing activity of at least one hardware or software component of the IT environment; storing the acquired performance measurements and the acquired portions of log data; causing display of a graphical user interface element; inputting a search criterion from a user via the graphical user interface element, the search criterion for use by the computer system as a portion of a search query; generating the search query in a search query language, the search query including the search criterion; and correlating at least one of the stored performance measurements with at least one of the stored portions of log data, based on the search criterion, wherein said correlating includes applying the search query in the search query language to the stored performance measurements and stored portions of log data, causing display of an indication of a performance measurement that satisfies the search criterion, and causing display of an indication of a portion of log data from the at least one log file, that satisfies the search criterion.
