    Abstract: A playbook execution architecture used to efficiently execute playbooks by distributing the execution of playbook function blocks to multiple independent “worker” sub-processes is described. Each worker process hosts an independent execution environment used to execute playbook function blocks independently from other worker processes, where each worker process can host an execution environment that is the same as or different from execution environments hosted by other work processes, enabling the playbook execution engine to support function blocks written in multiple different programming language versions or programming languages entirely. The described playbook execution architecture enables an IT and security operations application to vertically scale the computing resources used to execute playbooks, provides users with more control over an amount of computing resources devoted to the execution of playbooks, and enables more expressiveness in the types of actions and efficiency of playbooks by providing support for multiple programming languages and programming language versions.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for cross-system journey modeling based on relation of machine data. An example method includes obtaining information describing a user journey that includes multiple steps, each step corresponding to a query to be applied to one or more field-searchable data stores storing events, each event including a portion of machine data that reflects activity in an information technology environment and that is produced by a component of that information technology environment, and each event being associated with a timestamp extracted from the portion of machine data of that event. Events returned as a result of the query of each step are related. The results of the relating are displayed.

    Abstract: According to embodiments, a method for distributing a service through server-based restricted access storage includes executing, by a service provider, a service deployment of the service to a client in a cloud environment that operates client software in addition to the service deployment, the cloud environment provided by the client, the service deployment provided by the service provider and separate from the client software executing in the cloud environment. The method also includes receiving, by the service provider, privileges from the client to allow the service provider to access and operate the service in the cloud environment, the privileges providing access to the cloud environment separate from the client software executing in the cloud environment. The method also includes configuring the service deployment to monitor the client software, wherein the service deployment is partially isolated from other portions of the cloud environment.
