1. A computer-implemented method for displaying information regarding time-based security events, the method comprising:
- separating the events into sets, wherein a set includes events associated with a time period;
dividing the set of events into groups, wherein a group includes events that have a same value for a same attribute; and
displaying a user interface comprising;
a bar graph comprising;
a first axis that represents a volume of events;
a second axis that represents time; and
multiple bars, wherein a bar represents a set of events associated with a time period, and wherein the bar is divided into multiple portions, and wherein each portion represents a group of events having a same value for a same attribute, and wherein a first portion has a different visual appearance than a second portion; and
a user-manipulable control element that indicates a time span.

Abstract
A user interface for a network security console associated with multiple network security devices is disclosed. A graphical user interface (GUI) for use with an intrusion detection system, comprises a radar display that is configured to simulate a stream of time-based events chronologically. In addition, one or more playback controls are configured to control the stream during simulation. In further embodiments, the radar display includes a slider configured to allow a user to jump to events that occurred at a user-defined time.
