event pattern

noun

A subset of events within a larger pool of event data returned by a search. Events that belong to an event pattern share common characteristics and usually can be returned by a specific search string. When you run a search that returns dataset with a diverse array of events, you can use event pattern analysis to see the most common kinds of events in that dataset.

The Patterns tab shows you the event patterns in the results of a specific search.
