Claim 11:
12. A method, comprising:
initiating, by a computing device comprising a processing device, over a period of time, a plurality of handlers to analyze a plurality of files, wherein each handler of the plurality of handlers analyzes a corresponding set of files, and wherein the corresponding sets of files analyzed by some handlers differ from the corresponding sets of files analyzed by other handlers, and wherein at least some of the files are analyzed by multiple handlers;
storing, for each analysis of a respective file by each handler, in a data structure, information including:
a file identifier that identifies the respective file;
a handler identifier that identifies the handler that analyzed the respective file;
a version identifier that identifies a version of the first handler; and
results or a reference to results of the analysis of the respective file by the handler;

receiving, via a user interface, a query request that includes the handler identifier that identifies a first handler of the plurality of handlers;
in response to the query request, identifying, based on the data structure, the corresponding set of files analyzed by the version of the first handler, wherein analyzing the data structure comprises:
determining that at least one file of the plurality of files was analyzed by the version of the first handler; and
accessing the data structure to identify at least one results file containing results of an analysis of the at least one file by the version of the first handler; and

in response to the query request, presenting, on a display device, query results that identify each file in the corresponding set of files analyzed by the first handler and at least a portion of the results of the analysis for each file in the corresponding set of files analyzed by the first handler from the at least one results file, the portion including contents related to the analysis of the at least one file.
