Abstract: Described herein are techniques for integrating external sensors to an edge device, such as for ingesting data into a data intake and query system. The edge device has an internal message broker for communicating with internal (e.g., preconfigured, recognized) sensors, and an external message broker for communicating with external (e.g., customer-configured, otherwise unrecognized) sensors. The external message broker provides access to customer configuration of external sensors, but is logically quarantined from the internal message broker to prevent unwanted customer access to internal configurations. The internal and external message brokers interface only via a bridging service that transforms external sensor data into data based on customer-configurable transformations. The transformed data can be handled by the edge device and/or downstream components (e.g., a data intake and query system) in the same manner as internal sensor data.

Abstract: A wrapper layer over a target interface receives requests from client devices over a different interface, converts the requests into a format that is compatible with the target interface, and transmits each converted request over the target interface for processing by a service. The wrapper layer also processes a request by a client device to subscribe to a certain type of update made via the target interface by verifying that the client device is authorized to access a resource associated with that type of update and creating a subscription that identifies the client device and the type of update. When the wrapper layer subsequently receives a request corresponding to that type of update, the wrapper layer matches attributes of the request to the subscription by the client device and transmits a message notifying the client device of the request.

Abstract: Implementations described herein identify and exploit opportunities for offloading search-time and/or index-time operations to programmed offloading hardware accelerators (POHAs). An event-based data intake and query system is implemented in an enterprise core that is in communication with the POHAs over network interfaces. The system receives search requests associated with search-time operations classified into off-loadable operations and non-off-loadable operations. Non-off-loadable operations are distributed to local processing resources, and off-loadable operations are distributed to the POHAs for offloaded processing. The system can post-process both the locally processed and offload-processed results to generate search results responsive to at least some of the received search requests.
