Abstract:
Techniques and mechanisms are disclosed that enable collection of various types of data from cloud computing services and the generation of various dashboards and visualizations to view information about collections of cloud computing resources. A user can configure collection of data from one or more cloud computing services and view visualizations using an application platform referred to herein as a cloud computing management application. A cloud computing management application further may be configured to generate and cause display of interactive topology map representations of cloud computing resources based on the collected data, where an interactive topology map enables users to view an intuitive visualization of a collection of computing resources, efficiently cause performance of actions with respect to various resources displayed in the topology map, and analyze the collection of resources in ways that are not possible using conventional cloud computing service management consoles.
Abstract:
The operation of an automatic data input and query system is controlled by well-defined control data. Certain control data may relate to data schemas and direct operations performed by the system to extract fields from machine data. Automatic methods may determine proper field extraction control information by analyzing a sample of data from a source, breaking the sample data into event segments, classifying the segments into groups based on a measure of similarity, determining an operable extraction rule for each group, and storing the resulting extraction model. Data patterns known by the system can be leveraged to perform the event breaking and field identification for the classifying. Embodiments may provide a user interface to view, interact with, and approve the computer-generated extraction model.
Abstract:
A processing device receives input representing a selection of one or more areas of an image and creates a blurred area for the one or more selected areas. The blurred area corresponds to a portion of the image that contains the one or more selected areas. The portion of the image has a size that is greater than an aggregate size of the one or more selected areas. The processing device replaces the one or more selected areas with the corresponding portion of the blurred area.
Abstract:
An example method for managing datasets produced by alert-triggering search queries may include producing a dataset by executing a search query on a portion of data associated with a time window defined relative to a current time. The method may further include responsive to determining that a portion of the dataset satisfies a condition defining an alert, generating an instance of the alert. The method may further include associating, by a memory data structure, the instance of the alert with an identifier of the query and a parameter specifying a time of execution of the query that has triggered the instance. The method may further include receiving a request for the dataset portion. The method may further include substituting, in a definition of the time window, the current time with the time parameter. The method may further include reproducing the dataset portion by re-executing the query using the time window.
Abstract:
Techniques and mechanisms are disclosed that enable a data collection system to adaptively control collection of data from one or more external data sources. At a high level, adaptively controlling collection of data from external data sources may include collecting performance information related to one or more data collection nodes and, in response to analyzing the collected performance information, adapting rates at which the data collection nodes send data collection requests to external data sources. Data collection performance information generally may include, but is not limited to, network traffic data, error messages generated by external data sources and/or data collection nodes, computing device performance information, and any other types of information related to a data collection node's ability to collect data from external data sources.

Abstract:
The operation of an automatic data input and query system is controlled by well-defined control data. The system exposes user interfaces enabling an administrator to interact with control data to modify the ongoing operation of the system. Certain control data determines the collection and treatment of data from various technology sources. A robust control interface is provided enabling the efficient and reliable adding on of new technology data sources. Once established, control data for a new technology data source may be packaged in a form for archiving or distribution. The system may support the export and import of such packages. Such packages may be created independently of the system.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for presenting and sorting summaries of alerts triggered by search queries in data aggregation and analysis systems. An example method may comprise: causing, by one or more processing devices, one or more alert summaries to be displayed, each alert summary corresponding to an alert and representing one or more instances of the alert, the alert defined by a search query and a triggering condition; wherein an instance of the alert corresponds to a particular dataset that (i) is generated by executing the search query over time-series data falling within a particular time range in a set of time ranges over which the search query has been instructed to search, and (ii) satisfies the triggering condition for the alert; wherein an alert summary includes an indication of at least one of: a total count of alert instances generated by the alert, or a count of alert instances generated by the alert that have not been viewed by a user.
