Patent number: 11829415Abstract: Systems and methods are described for improving data availability and/or resiliency of indexers of a data intake and query system. Due to a lag between the time at which data is received and the time at which the data is available for searching, the data intake and query system may receive a query indicating that received (but unavailable for search) data is to be included as part of the query. A cluster master can dynamically track what data is available for searching by different indexers and map the data to filter criteria using a bucket map identifier. When a search head receives a query, it can request a bucket map identifier from the cluster master and send the bucket map identifier to the indexers that will be executing the query. The indexers can use the bucket map identifier to request the individual buckets that they are assigned to search.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2020Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Alexandros Batsakis, Mehul Goyal, Ashish Mathew, Douglas Rapp, Igor Stojanovski, Eric Woo

Patent number: 11824938Abstract: Described herein are techniques for integrating external sensors to an edge device, such as for ingesting data into a data intake and query system. The edge device has an internal message broker for communicating with internal (e.g., preconfigured, recognized) sensors, and an external message broker for communicating with external (e.g., customer-configured, otherwise unrecognized) sensors. The external message broker provides access to customer configuration of external sensors, but is logically quarantined from the internal message broker to prevent unwanted customer access to internal configurations. The internal and external message brokers interface only via a bridging service that transforms external sensor data into data based on customer-configurable transformations. The transformed data can be handled by the edge device and/or downstream components (e.g., a data intake and query system) in the same manner as internal sensor data.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2022Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: SPLUNK Inc.Inventors: Rodrigo Paulo Quaresma, Neel Mehta, Warren Shum, William Huang, Jonathan Yeung, Yi Chien Lee, Masrur Mahmood, Anthony Ng, Allyson Aberg, Qi Shu, Neha Kumari, Joel Jacob
