20120197928 | REAL TIME SEARCHING AND REPORTING - A system arranged to search machine data to generate reports in real time. A search query is provided that includes a plurality of search commands. The search query is parsed to form a main search query and a remote search query. Machine data is collected from remote data sources and evaluated against one of the main and remote search queries to generate a set of search results. The main search query is then evaluated against at least a partial set of the search result to generate at least one report regarding the collected machine data. Each report can be provided for display to a user. | 08-02-2012 |
20120197934 | REAL TIME SEARCHING AND REPORTING - A system arranged to search machine data to generate reports in real time. A search query is provided that includes a plurality of search commands. The search query is parsed to form a main search query and a remote search query. Machine data is collected from remote data sources and evaluated against one of the main and remote search queries to generate a set of search results. The main search query is then evaluated against at least a partial set of the search result to generate at least one report regarding the collected machine data. Initially a search window is pre-populated with historical machine data related to the search query. Over time the historical machine data is replaced with the collected machine data. | 08-02-2012 |
20120239660 | DISTRIBUTED LICENSE MANAGEMENT FOR A DATA LIMITED APPLICATION - The invention is directed towards enabling data volume and data type based licensing of software in a distributed system of a plurality of remote and/or local nodes. The invention enables measuring and optionally restricting the use of software based on one or more provided licenses that restrict the amount and type of data that may be processed by the software. New and older licenses may be added together for a single, bulk entitlement for a given volume of data processing for one or all types of data. Different users in the same enterprise may combine license entitlements too. Also, a new license can be acquired repeatedly, without requiring the issuance of combined licenses by the issuing authority and/or the revocation of prior licenses. | 09-20-2012 |
20120254128 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FAST FILE TRACKING AND CHANGE MONITORING - Embodiments are directed towards a dynamic change evaluation mechanism, whereby items having a detected possible change are scheduled for re-evaluation for possible changes at a higher frequency than items detected to not have previously changed, while those items detected as not to have changed are dynamically scheduled for re-evaluation based on an evaluation backlog that may be in turn based, in part, on a time from when an item is assigned an expiration time to when the item is evaluated. In one embodiment, a possibly changed item may be assigned a new expiration time independent of the evaluation backlog. In another embodiment, if no change is detected, then the item may be assigned a new expiration time as a function of a previous expiration time and on the evaluation backlog. | 10-04-2012 |
20120254207 | FILE IDENTIFICATION MANAGEMENT AND TRACKING - Embodiments are directed towards managing and tracking item identification of a plurality of items to determine if an item is a new or existing item, where an existing item has been previously processed. In some embodiments, two or more item identifiers may be generated. In one embodiment, generating the two or more item identifiers may include analyzing the item using a small item size characteristic, a compressed item, or for an identifier collision. The two or more item identifiers may be employed to determine if the item is a new or existing item. In one embodiment, the two or more item identifiers may be compared to a record about an existing item to determine if the item is a new or existing item. If the item is an existing item, then the item may be further processed to determine if the existing item has actually changed. | 10-04-2012 |

20130311427 | CLUSTERING FOR HIGH AVAILABILITY AND DISASTER RECOVERY - Embodiments are directed towards managing within a cluster environment having a plurality of indexers for data storage using redundancy the data being managed using a generation identifier, such that a primary indexer is designated for a given generation of data. When a master device for the cluster fails, data may continue to be stored using redundancy, and data searches performed may still be performed. | 11-21-2013 |

20140236889 | SITE-BASED SEARCH AFFINITY - According to various embodiments, techniques are described for managing data within a multi-site clustered data intake and query system. A data intake and query system as described herein generally refers to a system for collecting, retrieving, and analyzing data. In this context, a clustered data intake and query system generally refers to a system environment that is configured to provide data redundancy and other features that improve the availability of data stored by the system. For example, a clustered data intake and query system may be configured to store multiple copies of data stored by the system across multiple components such that recovery from a failure of one or more of the components is possible by using copies of the data stored elsewhere in the cluster. | 08-21-2014 |
