Patent number: 10860591Abstract: A method, system, and processor-readable storage medium are directed towards generating a report derived from data, such as event data, stored on a plurality of distributed nodes. In one embodiment the analysis is generated using a “divide and conquer” algorithm, such that each distributed node analyzes locally stored event data while an aggregating node combines these analysis results to generate the report. In one embodiment, each distributed node also transmits a list of event data references associated with the analysis result to the aggregating node. The aggregating node may then generate a global ordered list of data references based on the list of event data references received from each distributed node. Subsequently, in response to a user selection of a range of global event data, the report may dynamically retrieve event data from one or more distributed nodes for display according to the global order.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2018Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: SPLUNK INC.Inventors: Steve Yu Zhang, Stephen P.

Patent number: 10255310Abstract: A method and system for managing searches of a data set that is partitioned based on a plurality of events. A structure of a search query may be analyzed to determine if logical computational actions performed on the data set is reducible. Data in each partition is analyzed to determine if at least a portion of the data in the partition is reducible. In response to a subsequent or reoccurring search request, intermediate summaries of reducible data and reducible search computations may be aggregated for each partition. Next, a search result may be generated based on at least one of the aggregated intermediate summaries, the aggregated reducible search computations, and a query of adhoc non-reducible data arranged in at least one of the plurality of partitions for the data set.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2014Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: SPLUNK INC.Inventors: Stephen P.

Patent number: 8412696Abstract: A system arranged to search machine data to generate reports in real time. A search query is provided that includes a plurality of search commands. The search query is parsed to form a main search query and a remote search query. Machine data is collected from remote data sources and evaluated against one of the main and remote search queries to generate a set of search results. The main search query is then evaluated against at least a partial set of the search result to generate at least one report regarding the collected machine data. Each report can be provided for display to a user.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2011Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Steve Y. Zhang, Stephen P. Sorkin, Vishal Patel

Patent number: 8316234Abstract: A first communication device (“FCD”) is adapted to communicate with a second communication device. The FCD obtains a first key, encodes an attribute in the FCD with the first key to produce a first encoded value, and transmits the first encoded value to the second communication device. The FCD also receives a second encoded value from the second communication device. The second encoded value comprises an attribute stored in the second communication device that has been encoded with a second key. Further, the FCD encodes the second encoded value with the first key to produce a third encoded value, transmits the third encoded value to the second communication device, and receives a fourth encoded value from the second communication device. The fourth encoded value comprises the first encoded value after being encoded by the second key. The FCD determines whether the third encoded value matches the fourth encoded value.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2003Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Bernardo A.

Patent number: 7945545Abstract: A method and system for utilizing user information to provide a network address. The method collects user information about a user from at least one electronic device that is associated with the user. In addition, a network address activity pattern is identified based on a combination of a network browsing activity and the user information. A list of network addresses that have been viewed in context of the activity pattern is then accessed. At least one network address on the list of network addresses is scored. Then, the at least one network address having a highest score is provided to the user.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2005Date of Patent: May 17, 2011Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Stephen P.

Patent number: 7945585Abstract: A method and system for improving targeted data delivery. One method accesses a user profile based on information about a user from at least one electronic device from a set of electronic devices that is associated with the user. A targeted data offer is received, wherein the targeted data offer defines selection criteria for targeted user profiles. A determination is made as to whether the user profile satisfies the selection criteria. A non-user selected relevancy criteria based on the user profile is then utilized to characterize the targeted data offer.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2005Date of Patent: May 17, 2011Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Stephen P.
