  • Patent number: 11829330
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for processing data associated with isolated execution environments. A chunk of data associated with an isolated execution environment can include log data and non-log data. At least a portion of the log data can include log data generated by the isolated execution environment. The system can parse the chunk of data to identify the log data and the non-log data and extract at least a portion of the log data from the chunk of data. The extracted data can be further processed to generate one or more events.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11113301
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for processing location information associated with isolated execution environments and generating metadata for events based on the location information. A system can parse location information of a log file that includes chunks of data associated with an isolated execution environment to identify characteristics of the isolated execution environment. The system can generate events based on the chunks of data and associated the events with metadata generated based on the characteristics of the isolated execution environment.
