A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11853294B2) discloses a computer-implemented method for creating a metadata catalog to index a variety of time series containing information from log messages. Each log message includes a timestamp, metric name, and corresponding metric value. The method involves creating a time-series table for each time series, with the table's name determined by the metric name and extracted metadata from the log messages. The system then adds new entries to the identified time-series table based on received log messages. Additionally, a user interface (UI) is provided to present information on the time series, allowing users to select and view specific time series.

Furthermore, the patent includes claims related to the UI features, such as presenting a list of time series based on the metadata catalog, enabling search functionality to identify specific time series, and offering a graphical preview of time series matching a metric value query. The system also includes a memory with instructions and computer processors to execute the operations outlined in the patent claims. Overall, the patent details a comprehensive method and system for efficiently managing and accessing time series data from log messages through a metadata catalog and user-friendly interface, enhancing data organization and retrieval processes for users.
