  • Publication number: 20160154832
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed are towards the transparent summarization of events. Queries directed towards summarizing and reporting on event records may be received at a search head. Search heads may be associated with one more indexers containing event records. The search head may forward the query to the indexers the can resolve the query for concurrent execution. If a query is a collection query, indexers may generate summarization information based on event records located on the indexers. Event record fields included in the summarization information may be determined based on terms included in the collection query. If a query is a stats query, each indexer may generate a partial result set from previously generated summarization information, returning the partial result sets to the search head. Collection queries may be saved and scheduled to run and periodically update the summarization information.

  • Publication number: 20160147866
    Abstract: A system for processing user profiles. A similarity based clustering algorithm is executed to generate clusters of user profiles. Each cluster includes a group of users in an electronic community. Each cluster represents a relationship between the users in each group that each cluster includes. Each cluster is stored in a user profile and relationship database. The similarity based clustering algorithm includes s a member importance function and a member similarity function. The member importance function ascertains an importance value of keywords as a depth of the keywords in a semantic hierarchical tree. The member similarity function ascertains a similarity distance between keywords as a path distance between the keywords in the semantic hierarchical tree. Executing the similarity based clustering algorithm includes: using the member importance function and the member similarity function to ascertain the clusters.

  • Publication number: 20160140181
    Abstract: 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.
