Patent number: 11829746Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing a multi-component application, including a first and second component. Functionality of the application may be easily and rapidly modified by modification to the first component, without requiring modification to the second component. The first component may be implemented locally at a client device, while the second component is implemented remotely. While modification of the second component may require privileges of a remote location, a user of a client device may modify the first component while maintaining interoperability and compatibility with the second component, thereby enabling the end user to modify functionality of the multi-component application. In some instances, different versions of a first component are provided, and an end user of a client device is enabled to specify which version of the first component should be used.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2022Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Akash Dwivedi, Simon Foster Fishel, Isabelle Park, Vivian Shen, Eric Tschetter, Joshua Walters

Patent number: 11722507Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that generates an alert based on information extracted from search results generated by a query. During operation, the system executes the query to generate the search results. The system also obtains configuration information for the alert, wherein the configuration information identifies information associated with the search results, and also specifies a trigger condition for the alert. Next, when the trigger condition for the alert is met, the system uses the configuration information to generate a payload containing the identified information associated with the search results. The system then invokes alert-generating functionality and provides the payload as input to the alert-generating functionality. This enables the alert-generating functionality to use the information from the search results while performing one or more alert actions association with the alert.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2022Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: Splunk Inc.Inventors: Nicholas J. Filippi, Siegfried Puchbauer-Schnabel, Carl S. Yestrau, Vivian Shen, J. Mathew Elting

Publication number: 20210026849Abstract: A system that enables a user to configure alert actions based on search results generated by a query is disclosed. During operation, the system presents an alert user interface (UI) to a user, wherein the alert UI enables the user to configure one or more alert actions to be performed based on the search results. Next, the system receives alert configuration information from the user through the alert UI, wherein the alert configuration information includes tokens representing parameters associated with the query and the search results. Then, while generating an alert associated with the search results, the system performs a token substitution operation that substitutes tokens in the alert configuration information with corresponding parameters from the search results to generate a payload that is communicated to alert-generating functionality. This token substitution allows the parameters to be used by the alert-generating functionality while performing the one or more alert actions.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2020Publication date: January 28, 2021Inventors: Nicholas J.
