Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: outputting, by a computing device, a user interface configured to display data elements that are user-selectable to arrange and represent data patterns that include a filter pattern defining a search for data and a projection pattern defining a data output for the data that is matched by the filter pattern; receiving one or more inputs via the user interface of the computing device to define and arrange the data elements describing the filter pattern that specifies the data to be matched and extracted from a log, and the data elements describing the projection pattern that specifies a format of the data output for at least a portion of the data extracted from the log using the filter pattern, the specification by the projection pattern including global variables, bound variables from the filter pattern, aggregation functions, and type cast operations; and forming, by the computing device, a query from the filter pattern and the projection pattern to analyze the log.
