  • Automatic entity control in a machine data driven service monitoring system
    Patent number: 11755559
    Abstract: Automated discovery of relationships between entities within an IT environment. A technique is performed by a relationship module that performs a discovery search for entity relationships to produce a set of relationship search results. The relationship module then generates a set of relationship definitions from the set of relationship search results which are stored to a relationship collection in a data store. A technique for automatically updating entity and relationship definitions and removing outdated entity and relationship definitions stored to a data store. An update module automatically updates entity and relationship definitions at predetermined time intervals. The update history in each definition is also modified to reflect the update process. A retire module automatically removes outdated definitions using the update history in each definition.
