    Abstract: A process for ingesting raw machine data that reduces network and data intake and query system resources is described herein. For example, instead of routing the raw machine data to an intake ingestion buffer via a load balancer, a publisher may instead route metadata to the load balancer. The load balancer can use the metadata to identify an available virtual machine in the intake ingestion buffer. The load balancer can then provide to the publisher the public IP address of the available virtual machine. The publisher can communicate with the available virtual machine using the public IP address, and the available virtual machine can identify which virtual machine owns the topic related to the raw machine data. The publisher can then transmit raw machine data to the virtual machine that owns the topic.
