Abstract: A process for ingesting raw machine data that reduces network and data intake and query system resources is described herein. For example, instead of routing the raw machine data to an intake ingestion buffer via a load balancer, a publisher may instead route metadata to the load balancer. The load balancer can use the metadata to identify an available virtual machine in the intake ingestion buffer. The load balancer can then provide to the publisher the public IP address of the available virtual machine. The publisher can communicate with the available virtual machine using the public IP address, and the available virtual machine can identify which virtual machine owns the topic related to the raw machine data. The publisher can then transmit raw machine data to the virtual machine that owns the topic.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for customizable data streams in a streaming data processing system. Routing criteria for the customizable data streams are defined by a user, an automated process, or any other process. The routing criteria can be defined using graphical controls. The streaming data processing system uses the routing criteria to determine data that should be used to populate a particular data stream. Further, processing pipelines are customized such that a particular processing pipeline can obtain data from a particular user defined data stream and write data to a particular user defined data stream. Data is routed through the user defined data streams and customized processing pipelines based on a data route. A data route for a set of data may include multiple user defined data streams and multiple processing pipelines. The data route can include a loop of processing pipelines and data streams.

Abstract: A technique deploys a virtualization layer underneath an operating system executing on a node of a network environment to enable the virtualization layer to control the operating system is described. One or more executables (binaries) for the virtualization layer may be included in a kernel module loaded in memory of the node with a first privilege level (e.g., highest privilege level) needed to control the guest operating system. The kernel module may be configured to suspend the guest operating system and one or more hardware resources to a quiescent state. Furthermore, the kernel module is configured to (i) capture and save states of the hardware resource(s) and (ii) bootstrap the virtualization layer to create a virtual machine with an initial state that corresponds to a state of the system prior to deployment of the virtualization layer.
