| 20150356154 | SYSTEM FOR STORAGE, QUERYING, AND ANALYSIS OF TIME SERIES DATA - A system for storing time series data includes an ingester that prepares metadata indices associated with blocks of incoming time series data and stores the blocks of data in a time series database and the indices in a separate index database. The time series database distributes storage of the data blocks among multiple data nodes. A query layer receives queries and uses the index database to determine which data blocks are needed to process the query, and then requests only those data blocks from the time series database. Processing of the query is performed within the time series database only on those data nodes that contain relevant data, and partial results are passed to an output layer for formation into a final query result. | 12-10-2015 |
| 20160055214 | PREVIEWING PARSED RAW DATA USING A GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE - 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. | 02-25-2016 |

| 20160070736 | Determining Timestamps To Be Associated With Events In Machine Data - 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. | 03-10-2016 |
| 20160092485 | Event Time Selection Output Techniques - Event time selection output techniques are described. In one or more implementations, one or more inputs are received, at one or more computing devices, that involve interaction associated with a particular one of a plurality of events via a user interface, in which the plurality of events result from a search of data, each of the plurality of events include the data that is associated with a respective point in time, and the one or more inputs specify a relative time in relation to the respective point in time of the particular event. A determination is made as to which of the plurality of events correspond to the specified relative time by the one or more computing devices and a result of the determination is output by the one or more computing devices for display in the user interface. | 03-31-2016 |
| 20160098396 | Method and System for Indexing and Searching Timed Media Information Based Upon Relevance Intervals - A method and system for indexing, searching, and retrieving information from timed media files based upon relevance intervals. The method and system for indexing, searching, and retrieving this information is based upon relevance intervals so that a portion of a timed media file is returned, which is selected specifically to be relevant to the given information representations, thereby eliminating the need for a manual determination of the relevance and avoiding missing relevant portions.

| 20160147809 | Exporting and Importing Database Tables in a Multi-User Database Environment - Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for exporting and importing database tables in a database management system using multi-version concurrency control (MVCC). An embodiment operates by first initiating an export of a database table in the database management system. During the export transaction, temporary creation and deletion timestamps are identified from MVCC information associated with each row in the database table. Each temporary timestamp is associated with a database transaction. A timestamp map is then generated that associates the identified temporary timestamps with commit timestamps of the associated transactions. The database table, associated MVCC information, timestamp map, and snapshot timestamp of the export transaction are written to a binary file. When an import of the database table is initiated in a database management system, the database table is reconstructed from the table rows, associated MVCC information, timestamp map, and snapshot timestamp of the export transaction in the binary file. | 05-26-2016 |

| 20160162600 | CHARACTERIZING SUCCESS PATHWAYS IN NETWORKED GRAPHS - Methods and systems for inferring performance include a chain graph that has multiple nodes, one or more of which has a known value at a first timestamp. A value associated with a first node at the first timestamp influences a value associated with a second node connected to the first node by an edge at the first timestamp. Each node has an associated chain that represents values of the node at different timestamps. Known values of each node in the graph are propagated within each timestamp to all neighboring nodes. Known values of each node in the graph are propagated across different timestamps. | 06-09-2016 |
