Data enrichment and visualization for machine log messages
The granted patent US12045229B2 outlines a computer-implemented method and system for presenting information related to log messages and time series data from monitored devices through a user interface (UI). The method involves several steps, including the selection of a time series by the user, retrieval of associated metadata and log messages, and the organization of these log messages into time-based buckets. Each bucket is analyzed to determine a count of log messages and an intensity classification, which is then displayed in the UI alongside the selected time series. The UI also allows for overlaying additional information and intensity plots, enhancing the user's ability to analyze the data effectively.
Further enhancements to the UI include options for users to hover over graphical representations to view log messages, select multiple time series, and enter additional metadata or search terms for more refined queries. The system is designed to facilitate a comprehensive analysis of log messages, including details such as metric names and values, and provides a structured approach to visualizing and interacting with time series data. The patent also describes a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium that contains instructions for executing these operations, ensuring that the method can be implemented in various computing environments.
