    Abstract: A scheduler manages execution of a plurality of data-collection jobs, assigns individual jobs to specific forwarders in a set of forwarders, and generates and transmits tokens (e.g., pairs of data-collection tasks and target sources) to assigned forwarders. The forwarder uses the tokens, along with stored information applicable across jobs, to collect data from the target source and forward it onto an indexer for processing. For example, the indexer can then break a data stream into discrete events, extract a timestamp from each event and index (e.g., store) the event based on the timestamp. The scheduler can monitor forwarders' job performance, such that it can use the performance to influence subsequent job assignments. Thus, data-collection jobs can be efficiently assigned to and executed by a group of forwarders, where the group can potentially be diverse and dynamic in size.

    Abstract: Techniques promote monitoring of hypervisor systems by presenting dynamic representations of hypervisor architectures that include performance indicators. A reviewer can interact with the representation to progressively view select lower-level performance indicators. Higher level performance indicators can be determined based on lower level state assessments. A reviewer can also view historical performance metrics and indicators, which can aid in understanding which configuration changes or system usages may have led to sub-optimal performance.

    Abstract: A GUI displays information about a service, such as a service in an IT environment, and the specification for a related key performance indicator (KPI). The service can be provided by a number of entities (e.g., servers) for which machine data is generated and collected. The KPI is defined by a search query that produces a KPI value from the relevant machine data. Thresholds can aid in translating KPI values into a simpler, and possibly, common set of state values (e.g., Normal, Warning, Critical). A user can supply via a GUI, one or more thresholds that are applied on a per-entity basis in the process of determining a state value for the KPI.

    Abstract translation: GUI显示有关服务的信息,例如IT环境中的服务以及相关的关键绩效指标(KPI)的规范。 该服务可以由生成和收集机器数据的多个实体(例如,服务器)提供。 KPI由搜索查询定义,该搜索查询从相关机器数据生成KPI值。 阈值可以帮助将KPI值转换成更简单且可能的常见状态值集合(例如,正常,警告,严重)。 用户可以经由GUI提供在确定KPI的状态值的过程中在每个实体的基础上应用的一个或多个阈值。

    Abstract: Techniques promote monitoring of hypervisor systems by presenting dynamic representations of hypervisor architectures that include performance indicators. A reviewer can interact with the representation to progressively view select lower-level performance indicators. Higher level performance indicators can be determined based on tower level state assessments. A reviewer can also view historical performance metrics and indicators, which can aid in understanding which configuration changes or system usages may have led to sub-optimal performance.
