Patent number: 11863408Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a method and system for processing network data. During operation, the system obtains, at a remote capture agent, configuration information for the remote capture agent from a configuration server over a network. Next, the system uses the configuration information to configure the generation of event data from network data obtained from network packets at the remote capture agent. The system then uses the configuration information to configure transformation of the event data or the network data into transformed event data at the remote capture agent.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventor: Michael Dickey

Publication number: 20230305798Abstract: An audio processing and streaming server system includes an input bus, a digital signal processor (DSP), a first and second stream generators. The input bus includes a plurality of input audio channels, each corresponding to a respective input stream of a plurality of input streams, each received at the server from one of a plurality of audio interface devices. The DSP is configured to apply at least one signal chain to at least some of the plurality of input audio channels; and output first and second master audio mixes in accordance with the at least one signal chain. The first stream generator is configured to convey the first master audio mix to the audio interface devices in a first live stream with no added buffering latency, and the second stream generator is configured to buffer and convey the second master audio mix in a second live stream.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2023Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Michael Dickey, Dominick Hing, Nelson Wang

Patent number: 11314737Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a method and system for processing network data. During operation, the system obtains one or more event streams from one or more remote capture agents over one or more networks, wherein the one or more event streams include event data generated from network packets captured by the one or more remote capture agents. Next, the system applies one or more transformations to the one or more event streams to obtain transformed event data from the event data. The system then enables querying of the transformed event data.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2018Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventor: Michael Dickey

Patent number: 10951474Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a method and system for facilitating the processing of network data. During operation, the system obtains, at a remote capture agent, configuration information for the remote capture agent from a configuration server over a network. Next, the system uses the configuration information to configure the generation of event data from network packets at the remote capture agent. Upon receiving an update to the configuration information from the configuration server, the system uses the update to reconfigure the generation of the event data by the remote capture agent during runtime of the remote capture agent.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2019Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventor: Michael Dickey

Patent number: 10701191Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that processes network data. During operation, the system obtains, at a remote capture agent, a first protocol classification for a first packet flow captured by the remote capture agent. Next, the system uses configuration information associated with the first protocol classification to build a first event stream from the first packet flow at the remote capture agent, wherein the first event stream comprises time-series event data generated from network packets in the first packet flow based on the first protocol classification. The system then transmits the first event stream over a network for subsequent storage and processing of the first event stream by one or more components on the network.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2019Date of Patent: June 30, 2020Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Vladimir A. Shcherbakov, Michael Dickey
