  • AUTOMATIC RECURSIVE SEARCH ON DERIVED INFORMATION
    Publication number: 20160253387
    Abstract: A processing device receives a query comprising a first field value and a time period. The processing device performs a first search of a data store using the first field value to identify a first plurality of events having the time period and a field that comprises the first field value. The processing device determines, for one of the plurality of events, a second field value of a second field that is specified in a first context definition, the second field having an assigned field type. The processing device automatically performs a second search of the data store using the additional field value to identify a second plurality of events having the time period and the additional field value. Information from the first plurality of events and the second plurality of events is aggregated, and a response to the query is generated that comprises the aggregated information.

  • USER INTERFACE FOR EVENT DATA STORE
    Publication number: 20160248803
    Abstract: A processing device receives a query comprising a first field value and a time period and performs a first search of a data store using the first field value to identify a plurality of events having the time period and a field that comprises the first field value. The processing device determines a first subset of the plurality of events associated with a first context definition and determines a plurality of fields specified in the first context definition. The processing device determines, for events in the first subset, field values of one or more fields specified in the first context definition. The processing device generates a report based on the field values of the one or more fields specified in the first context definition from the events in the first subset.

  • NON-HOMOGENOUS STORAGE OF EVENTS IN EVENT DATA STORE
    Publication number: 20160248791
    Abstract: A processing device receives a plurality of discrete log entries from a first data store and generates an event for each discrete log entry that satisfies a criterion. To generate an event the processing device determines a source type associated with a discrete log entry, parses the discrete log entry based on the source type, determines a plurality of fields of the discrete log entry, identifies a subset of the plurality of fields, wherein one or more fields in the subset are to be used as link keys for linking together events, and assigns a field type to each field in the subset of the plurality of fields. The processing device additionally writes a plurality of event entries for the event into a second data store. A separate event entry is written for each field of the subset of the plurality of fields having an assigned field type.

  • Progressive gaming system, apparatus and method providing a primary game in conjunction with an independent progressive game
    Patent number: 9378608
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method are disclosed that include generating a set of primary game outcomes with each primary game outcome being associated with a result in a primary game. A set of progressive prize bearing outcomes are associated with the set of first game outcomes according to a progressive win frequency rule. Each progressive prize bearing record is associated with a progressive win indicator and a progressive prize. A primary game outcome is determined in response to a game play request by a player. If the primary game outcome is associated with a winning result, the player is provided a corresponding award; independent of the primary game result, if the primary game outcome is associated with one of the progressive prize bearing records, the player is awarded a corresponding progressive prize.
