20150293954 | GROUPING AND MANAGING EVENT STREAMS GENERATED FROM CAPTURED NETWORK DATA - The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the processing of network data. During operation, the system causes for display a graphical user interface (GUI) for configuring the generation of time-series event data from network packets captured by one or more remote capture agents. Next, the system causes for display, in the GUI, a first set of user-interface elements for specifying a grouping of a set of event streams containing the time-series event data by an event stream attribute associated with the event streams. The system then causes for display, in the GUI, a second set of user-interface elements containing event stream information for one or more subsets of the event streams represented by the grouping of the event streams by the event stream attribute. | 10-15-2015 |
20150295778 | INLINE VISUALIZATIONS OF METRICS RELATED TO CAPTURED NETWORK DATA - The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the processing of network data. During operation, the system obtains a set of event streams from one or more remote capture agents over one or more networks, wherein the set of event streams comprises time-series event data generated from network packets captured by the one or more remote capture agents. Next, the system causes for display, within a graphical user interface (GUI), a first set of user interface elements, wherein the first set of user interface elements includes event stream information for an event stream in the set of event streams and a first graph of a metric associated with the time-series event data in the event stream. The system then updates the first graph in real-time with the time-series event data from the one or more remote capture agents. | 10-15-2015 |
20150295779 | BIDIRECTIONAL LINKING OF EPHEMERAL EVENT STREAMS TO CREATORS OF THE EPHEMERAL EVENT STREAMS - The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the processing of network data. During operation, the system causes for display a graphical user interface (GUI) for obtaining configuration information for configuring the generation of time-series event data from network packets captured by one or more remote capture agents. Next, the system causes for display, in the GUI, a first set of user-interface elements comprising event stream information for one or more ephemeral event streams used to temporarily generate the time-series event data from the network packets. The system then causes for display, in the GUI, a mechanism for navigating between the event stream information and creation information for one or more creators of the one or more ephemeral event streams. | 10-15-2015 |
20150295780 | GROUPING AND MANAGING EVENT STREAMS GENERATED FROM CAPTURED NETWORK DATA - The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the processing of network data. During operation, the system causes for display, on a computer system, a graphical user interface (GUI) for obtaining configuration information for configuring the generation of time-series event data from network packets captured by one or more remote capture agents. Next, the system causes for display, in the GUI, a first set of user-interface elements for managing one or more ephemeral event streams that contain temporarily generated time-series event data from the network packets, wherein managing the one or more ephemeral event streams comprises modifying an end time for terminating the capture of time-series event data in an ephemeral event stream. The system then updates the configuration information based on input received through the first set of user-interface elements. | 10-15-2015 |
20150295796 | ADJUSTING NETWORK DATA STORAGE BASED ON EVENT STREAM STATISTICS - The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the processing of network data. During operation, the system causes for display a graphical user interface (GUI) for configuring the generation of time-series event data from network packets captured by one or more remote capture agents. Next, the system causes for display, in the GUI, a first set of user-interface elements for managing one or more event streams containing the time-series event data, wherein managing the one or more event streams includes enabling the generation of a set of statistics from an event stream without subsequently storing and processing at least a first portion of the event stream by one or more components on a network. The GUI then updates the configuration information based on input received through the first set of user-interface elements. | 10-15-2015 |
20150341212 | VISUALIZATIONS OF STATISTICS ASSOCIATED WITH CAPTURED NETWORK DATA - The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the processing of network data. During operation, the system causes for display a graphical user interface (GUI) for configuring the generation of time-series event data from network packets captured by one or more remote capture agents. Next, the system causes for display, in the GUI, a first set of user-interface elements containing a set of statistics associated with one or more event streams that comprise the time-series event data. The system then causes for display, in the GUI, one or more graphs comprising one or more values from the set of statistics. Finally, the system causes for display, in the GUI, a value of a statistic from the set of statistics based on a position of a cursor over the one or more graphs. | 11-26-2015 |
20160127180 | STREAMLINING CONFIGURATION OF PROTOCOL-BASED NETWORK DATA CAPTURE BY REMOTE CAPTURE AGENTS - The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates the processing of network data. During operation, the system provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for obtaining configuration information for configuring the generation of time-series event data from network packets captured by one or more remote capture agents. Next, the system provides, in the GUI, a first set of user-interface elements for including one or more event attributes in the time-series event data of an event stream associated with a protocol classification of the network packets. The system then includes the one or more event attributes specified through the first set of user-interface elements in the configuration information. | 05-05-2016 |
20160127517 | PROTOCOL-BASED CAPTURE OF NETWORK DATA USING REMOTE CAPTURE AGENTS - The disclosed embodiments provide a system that processes network data. During operation, the system obtains, at a remote capture agent, a first protocol classification for a first packet flow captured by the remote capture agent. Next, the system uses configuration information associated with the first protocol classification to build a first event stream from the first packet flow at the remote capture agent, wherein the first event stream comprises time-series event data generated from network packets in the first packet flow based on the first protocol classification. The system then transmits the first event stream over a network for subsequent storage and processing of the first event stream by one or more components on the network. | 05-05-2016 |
