1. A computer implemented interactive analytics method, comprising:
- logging data traffic between a plurality of users and an external network in a log system, wherein the logging is performed by a cloud based system;
receiving a first request for interactive analytics of the logged data traffic, wherein the first request comprises a date range, a visualization type, and a grouping;
obtaining data traffic from the log system responsive to the first request;
formatting the obtained data traffic based on the date range, the visualization type, and the grouping to provide a first interaction based on the first request;
displaying the first interaction;
storing the first interaction in a history list;
monitoring the data traffic between the plurality of users and the external network via the cloud based system, wherein the monitoring is independent of location, device type, and operating system of each of the plurality of users;
receiving a plurality of additional requests for interactive analytics of the logged data traffic, obtaining data traffic from the log system responsive to the each of the plurality of additional requests, formatting the obtained data traffic to provide a plurality of additional interactions each based on the plurality of additional requests, and storing the plurality of additional interactions in the history list; and
receiving a selection of any interaction in the history list, displaying the selection, receiving a request to modify the selection, and if the selection is not the last interaction in the history list, deleting all subsequent interactions in the history list based on the modified selection.

Abstract
A computer implemented method, a cloud system, and a log system provide interactive analytics providing various intuitive mechanisms for interaction with data visualizations of Internet traffic, email, etc. The methods and systems utilize a cloud based monitoring system where all traffic from an organization may be monitored in a location and platform independent manner. The methods and systems include context-aware drilldown with progressively applied filtering and grouping while maintaining workflow history such that a user can go back to any point in the flow and proceed down a new path of investigation.
