Patent number: 11775343Abstract: A computer implemented system is described for assigning executable jobs to pipeline sets, whereby the jobs may be network based computer jobs. The assigning includes generating a weight for each pipeline set of multiple pipeline sets to obtain multiple weights. Generating a weight includes obtaining duty cycle metrics for pipeline software threads in the pipeline set. The duty cycle metrics include a measure of an amount of time that a corresponding pipeline thread is executing and actively processing data. Generating the weight further includes determining the weight for the pipeline set based at least in part on the duty cycle metrics. The method further includes assigning a job request to a target pipeline set selected from the pipeline sets according to a weighted random algorithm, wherein the weighted random algorithm uses the weights.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2022Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Bharath Kishore Reddy Aleti, Mitchell Neuman Blank, Anish Shrigondekar

Patent number: 11777974Abstract: A network connection between a server group of a data intake and query system and each of one or more source network nodes is established. Source data at the server group is received from at least one of the one or more source network nodes via the respective network connections and transformed, by the indexer server, to timestamped data entries of machine data. A model management server detects data constraints for a security model that include a data element used by the security model and an availability requirement set. Using the timestamped data entries, the data constraints are validated, and the validation used to determine a data availability assessment of the security model.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2022Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Marios Iliofotou, Bo Lei, Essam Zaky, Karthik Kannan, George Apostolopoulos, Jeswanth Manikonda, Sitaram Venkatraman

Patent number: 11775501Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for trace and span sampling and analysis for instrumented software. Each span may be annotated with one or more tags that provide context about an executed task, such as a user instrumenting the software, a document involved in a request, an infrastructure element used in servicing a request, etc. A sampler may perform tail-based sampling of traces comprising spans. The sampler may select a portion of the traces having selected features and send them to an analyzer. The analyzer may receive the selected traces and determine whether the selected traces are indicative of configuration problems for the instrumented software. An alert may be generated based on identified configuration problems.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2019Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Joseph Ari Ross, Matthew William Pound

Patent number: 11775548Abstract: Embodiments are directed towards generating a representative sampling as a subset from a larger dataset that includes unstructured data. A graphical user interface enables a user to provide various data selection parameters, including specifying a data source and one or more subset types desired, including one or more of latest records, earliest records, diverse records, outlier records, and/or random records. Diverse and/or outlier subset types may be obtained by generating clusters from an initial selection of records obtained from the larger dataset. An iteration analysis is performed to determine whether a sufficient number of clusters and/or cluster types have been generated that exceed at least one threshold and when not exceeded, additional clustering is performed on additional records. From the resultant clusters, and/or other subtype results, a subset of records is obtained as the representative sampling subset.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2022Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: SPLUNK INC.Inventors: R.

Patent number: 11777945Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to facilitating detection of suspicious access to resources. In accordance with aspects of the present disclosure, an access graph is generated. The access graph contains access data that includes observed accesses between entities and resources. Access scores can be determined for entity-resource pairs in the access graph by applying a set of access rules to the entity-resource pairs in the access graph. The access scores indicate an extent of relatedness between the corresponding entity and resource. Thereafter, the access scores can be used to train a probabilistic prediction model that predicts suspiciousness of accesses between entities and resources.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2022Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: George Apostolopoulos, Ignacio Nicolas Bermudez Corrales

Patent number: 11768811Abstract: A multitenant deployment includes a computing cluster that executes multiple containerized instances of a software application. Each containerized instance is associated with one or more datastores that can be assigned to different tenants. A registry store maintains a mapping between tenants and datastores, thereby allowing a registry manager to properly route tenant requests to the correct datastores. A capacity manager tracks tenant usage of datastores in the registry store and then scales computing resources for each tenant in proportion to usage. The capacity manager also migrates tenant resources in response to catastrophic failures or upgrades. In this fashion, the multitenant deployment can adapt a single-tenant software application for multi-tenancy in a manner that is both transparent and secure for the tenant.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2022Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: SPLUNK INC.Inventors: Ledio Ago, Ronnie Sun, Mathew Elting

Patent number: 11768836Abstract: A service monitoring system (SMS) produces key performance indicator (KPI) scores that indicate the performance of a service. To produce the KPI scores, the SMS may process the data for a large number of machine entities that perform the service. This data can be processed on a per-entity basis to produce a per-entity KPI score representing the contribution of a particular machine to the overall KPI. The per-entity KPI scores can be transformed to statistical representations which can be visualized as a distribution stream graph. The visualization may be presented with interactive aspects. Automatic entity definitions may also be generated based on content derived from the processed data.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2019Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Arun Ramani, Anupadmaja Raghavan, Tristan Antonio Fletcher, Marc Chene
