Identifying System Performance Patterns in Machine Data

摘要

Methods and apparatus consistent with the invention provide the ability to organize and build understandings of machine data generated by a variety of information-processing environments. Machine data is a product of information-processing systems (e.g., activity logs, configuration files, messages, database records) and represents the evidence of particular events that have taken place and been recorded in raw data format. In one embodiment, machine data is turned into a machine data web by organizing machine data into events and then linking events together.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
receiving machine data from one or more information technology systems, the machine data indicative of performance aspects of the one or more information technology systems; identifying typical system behavior in the one or more information technology systems by performing a search across the machine data for patterns that match one or more recorded patterns that frequently occur; wherein the method is performed by one or more computing devices.
