1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- obtaining log data generated by at least one component in an information processing environment;
obtaining data that is not log data from a real-time monitoring environment;
storing the log data in a searchable time series data store as a plurality of events, each event having raw machine data that reflects activity in the information processing environment and is produced by a component of the information processing environment, wherein a particular event of the plurality of events is associated with a timestamp extracted from the raw machine data of the particular event;
storing the data obtained from the real-time monitoring environment in the searchable time series data store;
receiving a search query that includes search criteria identifying a relationship between the log data and the data obtained from the real-time monitoring environment; and
executing the search query to identify the log data and the data obtained from the real-time monitoring environment that meet the search criteria.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus consistent with the invention provide the ability to organize, index, search, and present time series data based on searches. Time series data are sequences of time stamped records occurring in one or more usually continuous streams, representing some type of activity. In one embodiment, time series data is organized into discrete events with normalized time stamps and the events are indexed by time and keyword. A search is received and relevant event information is retrieved based in whole or in part on the time indexing mechanism, keyword indexing mechanism, or statistical indices calculated at the time of the search.
