Method Detail

getVariables

Set<String> getVariables()

This method returns the variable names which are supported for filtering by this view.

Returns:

getIndexedVariables

Set<String> getIndexedVariables()

This method returns the set of variables which are indexed by a view. Indexed variables require no additional parsing of events and are thus much more efficiently to be accessed.

Returns:

getCompletions

List<String> getCompletions(String variable)

This method returns the list of values observed for the specified variable. Implementation of this method is optional, this method my simply return an empty list.

Parameters:

variable -

Returns:

count

Long count(FilterExpression filter)
           throws Exception

Returns the number of log-messages within this view which match the given filter expression.

Parameters:

filter -

Returns:

Throws:

Exception

count

Map<String,Long> count(String variable,
                     FilterExpression filter)
                       throws Exception

Returns the counts of events grouped by the specified variable.

Parameters:

variable -

filter -

Returns:

Throws:

Exception

list

List<E> list(FilterExpression filter,
           int offset,
           int limit)
                           throws Exception

Returns the list of log-messages which match the given filter expression. The offset and limit can be used to allow for a paging view.

Parameters:

filter -

offset -

limit -

Returns:

Throws:

Exception

get

E get(String id)
                    throws Exception

Retrieve the event with the given ID from the view.

Parameters:

id -

Returns:

Throws:

Exception

delete

boolean delete(String id)
               throws Exception

Deprecated. Use delete(FilterExpression) with a filter of TX_ID=id

Delete the event with the given ID from the view (and the underlying storage).

Parameters:

id -

Returns:

Throws:

Throws:

Exception

untag

void untag(FilterExpression filter,
         String tag)
           throws Exception

Throws:

Exception
