sequence_detect plugin
Applies to: ✅ Microsoft Fabric ✅ Azure Data Explorer
Detects sequence occurrences based on provided predicates. The plugin is invoked with the evaluate
operator.
Syntax
T | evaluate
sequence_detect
(
TimelineColumn,
MaxSequenceStepWindow,
MaxSequenceSpan,
Expr1,
Expr2,
..., Dim1,
Dim2,
...)

Parameters
Name | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
T | string |
✔️ | The input tabular expression. |
TimelineColumn | string |
✔️ | The column reference representing timeline, must be present in the source expression. |
MaxSequenceStepWindow | timespan |
✔️ | The value of the max allowed timespan between 2 sequential steps in the sequence. |
MaxSequenceSpan | timespan |
✔️ | The max timespan for the sequence to complete all steps. |
Expr1, Expr2, ... | string |
✔️ | The boolean predicate expressions defining sequence steps. |
Dim1, Dim2, ... | string |
✔️ | The dimension expressions that are used to correlate sequences. |
Returns
Returns a single table where each row in the table represents a single sequence occurrence:
- Dim1, Dim2, ...: dimension columns that were used to correlate sequences.
- Expr1TimelineColumn, Expr2TimelineColumn, ...: Columns with time values, representing the timeline of each sequence step.
- Duration: the overall sequence time window
Examples
The following query looks at the table T to search for relevant data from a specified time period.
T | evaluate sequence_detect(datetime_column, 10m, 1h, e1 = (Col1 == 'Val'), e2 = (Col2 == 'Val2'), Dim1, Dim2)
Exploring Storm Events
The following query looks on the table StormEvents (weather statistics for 2007) and shows cases where sequence of 'Excessive Heat' was followed by 'Wildfire' within 5 days.
StormEvents
| evaluate sequence_detect(
StartTime,
5d, // step max-time
5d, // sequence max-time
heat=(EventType == "Excessive Heat"),
wildfire=(EventType == 'Wildfire'),
State
)
Output
State | heat_StartTime | wildfire_StartTime | Duration |
---|---|---|---|
