Real-time search techniques

Abstract:

The disclosed embodiments include a method performed by a data intake and query system. The method includes receiving a real-time search query including search criteria, and receiving a stream of metrics, where each metric includes a measured value taken of a computing device. The method further includes filtering the metrics to obtain filtered metrics satisfying the search criteria, creating an in-memory summarization data structure based on the filtered metrics, communicating the summarization data to a search head, and providing search results including the summarization data, where the summarization data or data indicative of the summarization data is displayed on a display of a display device.
