Analyzing event streams of user sessions

Abstract

In various exemplary embodiments, a system and method is disclosed to analyze event streams of a user session. One embodiment of the method includes logging a plurality of events from an event stream, specifying conditions to sort the plurality of events, applying the conditions to the plurality of events, producing a probability distribution of event nodes after a given node in the event stream, and producing an interactive graphical reduction of a produced graph by determining patterns in a graphical tree and unifying occurrences of the patterns.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system capable of allowing an analyst to analyze event streams of a user session and graphically display a result, the system comprising:
 a log file configured to interface to one or more log sessions from a user-generated event stream;   a query composer comprising a query language and a front-end filter coupled to the log file, the query composer configured to provide one or more conditions to sort the event stream; and   a graph visualizer coupled to the query composer and configured to produce a probability distribution of event nodes from a given node in the event stream.
