Previewing parsed raw data using a graphical user interface
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- selecting a portion of raw data from at least one data source;
causing display of one or more selectable parsing rules;
receiving a first user input selecting a parsing rule among the one or more selectable parsing rules, the parsing rule to be applied to the selected portion of raw data;
parsing the selected portion of raw data into a set of searchable, time-stamped events using the parsing rule, each searchable, time-stamped event in the set of searchable, time-stamped events including raw data from the selected portion of raw data;
causing display of at least a portion of the set of searchable, time-stamped events;
in response to receiving a second user input, processing raw data from the at least one data source using the parsing rule, to create searchable, time-stamped events, the processed raw data including the selected portion of raw data and additional raw data different from the selected portion of raw data;
storing the searchable, time-stamped events in an index store among a plurality of index stores, where the searchable, time-stamped events in the index store are used to service search queries received from a search engine;
wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.

Abstract
Embodiments are directed towards previewing results generated from indexing data raw data before the corresponding index data is added to an index store. Raw data may be received from a preview data source. After an initial set of configuration information may be established, the preview data may be submitted to an index processing pipeline. A previewing application may generate preview results based on the preview index data and the configuration information. The preview results may enable previewing how the data is being processed by the indexing application. If the preview results are not acceptable, the configuration information may be modified. The preview application enables modification of the configuration information until the generated preview results may be acceptable. If the configuration information is acceptable, the preview data may be processed and indexed in one or more index stores.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more sequences of instructions, wherein execution of the one or more sequences of instructions by one or more processors causes the one or more processors to perform:
-
selecting a portion of raw data from at least one data source; causing display of one or more selectable parsing rules; receiving a first user input selecting a parsing rule among the one or more selectable parsing rules, the parsing rule to be applied to the selected portion of raw data; parsing the selected portion of raw data into a set of searchable, time-stamped events using the parsing rule, each searchable, time-stamped event in the set of searchable, time-stamped events including raw data from the selected portion of raw data; causing display of at least a portion of the set of searchable, time-stamped events; in response to receiving a second user input, processing raw data from the at least one data source using the parsing rule, to create searchable, time-stamped events, the processed raw data including the selected portion of raw data and additional raw data different from the selected portion of raw data; storing the searchable, time-stamped events in an index store among a plurality of index stores, where the searchable, time-stamped events in the index store are used to service search queries received from a search engine. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a raw data selector, implemented at least partially in hardware, that selects a portion of raw data from at least one data source; a display subsystem, implemented at least partially in hardware, that causes display of one or more selectable parsing rules; a user input receiver, implemented at least partially in hardware, that receives a first user input selecting a parsing rule among the one or more selectable parsing rules, the parsing rule to be applied to the selected portion of raw data; a raw data parser, implemented at least partially in hardware, that parses the selected portion of raw data into a set of searchable, time-stamped events using the parsing rule, each searchable, time-stamped event in the set of searchable, time-stamped events including raw data from the selected portion of raw data; wherein the display subsystem causes display of at least a portion of the set of searchable, time-stamped events; the raw data parser, in response to a receiving a second user input, processes raw data from the at least one data source using the parsing rule, to create searchable, time-stamped events, the processed raw data including the selected portion of raw data and additional raw data different from the selected portion of raw data; an event storage device, implemented at least partially in hardware, that stores the searchable, time-stamped events in an index store among a plurality of index stores, where the searchable, time-stamped events in the index store are used to service search queries received from a search engine. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
