Abstract:
A method includes detecting a plurality of events associated assets of an enterprise system and generating database record structures based on the detected events, each database record structure comprising a first field storing an association key identifying one of the assets, a second field storing a first timestamp associated with a first detected event stored in that database record structure for its identified asset, and at least a third field storing a value associated with a second detected event stored in that database record structure for its identified asset. The method also includes maintaining indexing structures for the first, second and third fields, receiving a query to resolve a temporal association for a queried assets at a specified time, and utilizing the indexing structures to locate a particular one of the database record structures storing the temporal association for the queried asset at the specified time.
