Abstract

A histogram slider application accesses, from a data storage of a machine, file activities performed on the machine as a function of time. The histogram slider application determines points in time at which a level of file activities exceeds an activity level threshold that is based on historical levels of file activities on the machine. The histogram slider application generates a graphical user interface comprising a histogram indicative of the file activities over time and the determined points in time, a slider configured to move along a timeline that is parallel to the histogram, and a list of file activities corresponding to a first position of the slider on the timeline, the first position indicating a first time on the histogram.
