AUTOMATIC LOG SENSOR TUNING

摘要

A process for automatic tuning a set of collectors and/or sensors includes: collecting first machine data by a first sensor in a collection framework, processing the first machine data by a first collector in the collection framework to yield first collected machine data, performing analytics on the first collected machine data to generate analytics output, and tuning, based, at least in part, on the analytics output, at least one of the following: the first sensor and the first collector.

1. A method comprising:
responsive to an occurrence of an alert condition, generating a piped HTTP request for performing analytics on a first set of machine data in a search cluster, the first set of machine data collected by a collector according to a first configuration of the collector; receiving a single-threaded, piped HTTP response to the piped HTTP request as analytics output; determining a second configuration for the collector to collect a second set of machine data responsive to the analytics output; executing a sync instruction to the collector to replace the first configuration with the second configuration; causing the collector to collect a second set of machine data by processing new machine data according to the second configuration, the new machine data generated after the occurrence of the alert condition; wherein: the second set of machine data includes event-specific data determined to be relevant by the performing analytics on the first set of machine data.
