Abstract:

The storage of events of multiple types in a queriable table. The queriable table has at least one common column that corresponds to a field that is common across events regardless of event type. The queriable table also has at least one field-varying column that corresponds to a type-dependent field that depends on event type. The queriable table is populated using multiple events. For instance, the event could be at least some log events that are received from multiple computing systems. The population occurs by assigning each event to a row of the queriable table. The common column is populated with values taken the same common field across event types. On the other hand, the field-varying column is populated with values of different fields from those events depending on the event type.
