  • Patent number: 10891175
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems are provided for writing events to a data store. An application server generates events, the data store that stores the events, and a temporary events file storage system (TEFSS) temporarily stores groups of events as events files. When events are unable to be written directly to the data store, an indirect events writer is invoked that includes event capture threads each being configured to generate a particular events file, and write it to the TEFSS. Each events file includes a plurality of events flushed from an in-memory buffer service. An events file uploader service reads the events file(s) from the TEFSS, and then writes the events from each of the events files to the data store.

  • Patent number: 10776825
    Abstract: A processor can cause a first communication, to a user device, of a first item based on an eventing system being in a first mode, a configuration to cause the eventing system to cause, without a request from the user device, a communication of an item to the user device in response to an entry of the item into a memory. After the first communication, the processor can cause the eventing system to be in a second mode, a configuration to cause the eventing system to refrain from communications of items to the user device. The processor can receive, from the user device, a signal to cause the eventing system to switch from the second mode to the first mode. After receiving the signal, a second item can be entered into the information memory. The processor can cause a second communication, to the user device, of the second item.

  • Patent number: 10678757
    Abstract: A database system may determine that a database is unavailable to generate an identifier for an event or that events may not be written to the database. As a result, the database system may write the event to a low-latency, supplementary file system. The database system may determine that the database is available at a later time, and read the event from the supplementary file system, store the event in a memory component, and then delete the event from the supplementary file system. The database system may then access the database to generate an identifier for the event, write the event to the database, and then delete the event from the memory component.

  • Patent number: 10380094
    Abstract: Disclosed are examples of systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products for creating custom platform objects for a multi-tenant non-relational database environment. A database system maintains a multi-tenant non-relational database associated with multiple enterprises and a number of records for each of the enterprises. The system also maintains a dynamic virtual table associated with a number of records. A request is received from one of the enterprises to define a custom data object within the database system, uniquely associated with an enterprise. The request is processed, and a custom object is generated based on the request. The custom object defines database columns corresponding to the data object and the enterprise. The virtual table is updated to include virtual columns corresponding to the database column definitions, and existing columns of a shared table in the non-relational database are updated to match the virtual columns.

  • Patent number: 10332129
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, apparatus, systems, and computer program products for provisioning log file data. To provision the log file data, a server can parse through log files by identifying particular log entries and data fields. Customer-facing log files can be generated based on the identified log entries and data fields. A customer-facing log file has log file data specific to a particular customer, which can be a tenant of a multi-tenant database system. A security mechanism can be configured to prevent one tenant from accessing the customer-facing log file of another tenant of the multi-tenant database system.

  • Patent number: 10275281
    Abstract: Disclosed are some examples of systems, methods, apparatus and computer program products for scheduling jobs to process log files. In some implementations, a scheduler can be configured to identify a final state of a previously scheduled first job as a failure in execution by one or more processors. For instance, the first job may have been defined to process a first input log file saved to a database during a first timeframe of a sequence of timeframes of a designated interval. The scheduler can detect a second input log file saved to the database. The scheduler can then define a second job to process the first input log file and the second input log file and schedule the second job in association with a second timeframe of the sequence.

  • Patent number: 10185603
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems are provided. The system includes a data store that is configured to store events in an event table, a temporary events file storage system (TEFSS), and a cluster of application servers. The cluster includes a first application server that generates events, and a second application server that includes an events file uploader service. When the first application server is unable to directly write events to the data store, an indirect events writer generates events file(s), and writes the events file(s) to the TEFSS. Each events file includes a plurality of events flushed from an in-memory buffer service at the first application server. When the events file uploader service determines that the first application server is inactive, it reads the events file(s) from the TEFSS, and writes the events from each of the events files to the data store.

  • Patent number: 10178156
    Abstract: A database system captures custom information of a header section associated with a logged interaction of a user. The database system may receive a hypertext transfer protocol (http) message including the header section and determine whether the header section includes a predetermined data pattern associated with the custom information added by a second application that is different than a first application which initiated the http message. The database system may extract the custom information from the header section in response to determining that the header section includes the predetermined data pattern. The custom information and event data extracted from the logged interaction of the user may be stored on the database system as a storage element.
