Patent Images
1. A processor-based method for use in analyzing non-fully structured data which is associated with one or more events, the method comprising the steps of:
- parsing at least a portion of the non-fully structured data according to one or more parsing rules to convert the at least a portion of non-fully structured data to structured data;
providing presentation operations which are respectively able to provide a presentation of at least a portion of the non-fully structured data, format at least a portion of the structured data to provide a presentation of a graphical representation of the at least a portion of structured data, and format at least a portion of the structured data to provide a presentation of a summary representation of the at least a portion of structured data; and
coordinating data associated with two or more of the presentations, when desired, to enable a coordinated analysis of the data wherein at least a portion of the data associated with the two or more presentations is exchangeable in accordance with the two or more presentations.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for exploratory analysis of event messages. The invention includes a parsing engine to translate textual messages into structured event data, a selection and control engine (SCE) to provide data management and communication channels for a set of analysis methods, and viewers to support different kinds of analysis methods. The invention further includes a mechanism for viewers to exchange information, a mechanism for interactively and iteratively refining parsing rules, and a mechanism to visualize events through event graphs.

9. A system for use in analyzing non-fully structured data which is associated with one or more events, the system comprising:
-
a parsing engine which parses at least a portion of the non-fully structured data according to one or more parsing rules to convert the at least a portion of non-fully structured data to structured data;
viewers which are respectively able to provide a presentation of at least a portion of the non-fully structured data, format at least a portion of the structured data to provide a presentation of a graphical representation of the at least a portion of structured data, and format at least a portion of the structured data to provide a presentation of a summary representation of the at least a portion of structured data, wherein data associated with two or more of the presentations is coordinated, when desired, to enable a coordinated analysis of the data wherein at least a portion of the data associated with the two or more presentations is exchangeable in accordance with the two or more presentations; and
a selection and control engine coupled to the parsing engine and the viewers which controls operations associated with the parsing engine and the viewers. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
