Abstract:
Embodiments are directed towards a system and method for a cloud-based front end that may abstract and enable access to the underlying cloud-hosted elements and objects that may be part of a multi-tenant application, such as a search application. Search objects may be employed to access indexed objects. An amount of indexed data accessible to a user may be based on an index storage limit selected by the user, such that data that exceeds the index storage limit may continue to be indexed. Also, one or more projects can be elastically scaled for a user to provide resources that may meet the specific needs of each project.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus consistent with the invention provide the ability to organize, index, search, and present time series data based on searches. Time series data are sequences of time stamped records occurring in one or more usually continuous streams, representing some type of activity. In one embodiment, time series data is organized into discrete events with normalized time stamps and the events are indexed by time and keyword. A search is received and relevant event information is retrieved based in whole or in part on the time indexing mechanism, keyword indexing mechanism, or statistical indices calculated at the time of the search.
Abstract:
An automatic service monitor in an information technology environment is equipped to automatically identify and group recognized events based on user-defined criteria, and to automatically perform user-defined operations against the group and its members at the detection of user-specified conditions. A related user interface is taught.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are a method, apparatus and system that authenticate a first data forwarder, of a distributed machine data acquisition and search system (MDASS), to a node that regulates traversal of a firewall that protects a protected environment within which the data forwarder operates. The authentication may be performed by using a SOCKS5 authentication process. The method further includes, only after successful completion of the SOCKS5 authentication process, establishing a first connection, through a network, between the first data forwarder and a first indexer of the distributed MDASS, where the first indexer operates outside the protected environment, and sending machine data acquired by the first data forwarder from a machine data source, to the first indexer via the first connection.

Abstract:
Techniques promote monitoring of hypervisor systems by presenting dynamic representations of hypervisor architectures that include performance indicators. A reviewer can interact with the representation to progressively view select lower-level performance indicators. Higher level performance indicators can be determined based on tower level state assessments. A reviewer can also view historical performance metrics and indicators, which can aid in understanding which configuration changes or system usages may have led to sub-optimal performance.
Abstract:
A system that displays performance data for a computing environment. During operation, the system determines performance states for a plurality of entities that comprise the computing environment based on values of a performance metric for the entities. Next, the system displays the computing environment as a tree comprising nodes representing the plurality of entities and edges representing parent-child relationships between the plurality of entities. Then, for each parent node in the tree, the system determines counts of one or more performance states for descendants of the parent node in the tree. Finally, the system displays a graphical representation of the determined counts while displaying the parent node. In some embodiments, displaying the graphical representation of the determined counts includes displaying a circular ring comprising visually distinct sections associated with different performance states, wherein the visually distinct sections are sized proportionately with the determined counts for the associated performance states.
Abstract:
The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that displays performance data for a computing environment. During operation, the system first determines values for a performance metric for entities that comprise the computing environment. Next, the system displays the computing environment as a tree comprising nodes representing the entities and edges representing parent-child relationships between the entities. While displaying the tree, the system displays the child nodes for each parent in sorted order based on values of the performance metric associated with the child nodes.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to certain system and method embodiments for generating reports from unstructured data. In one embodiment, a method can include identifying events matching criteria of an initial search query (each of the events including a portion of raw machine data that is associated with a time), identifying a set of fields, each field defined for one or more of the identified events, causing display of an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) that includes one or more interactive elements enabling a user to define a report for providing information relating to the matching events (each interactive element enabling processing or presentation of information in the matching events using one or more fields in the identified set of fields), receiving, via the GUI, a report definition indicating how to report information relating to the matching events, and generating, based on the report definition, a report including information relating to the matching events.
