Batch logging in a distributed memory

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with logging event messages in a computing grid using a distributed memory are described. In one embodiment, a method includes storing, in a distributed memory, a batch of log messages received from one of a plurality of handlers. Storing the batch in the distributed memory includes storing the batch in one of a plurality of memories that are part of the distributed memory and storing the batch with a group of batches from the plurality of handlers. The example method may also include generating, after a predefined period of time has elapsed, a formal log from the group of batches. The predefined period of time is an amount of time after a reporting period within which batches from the reporting period are expected to arrive in the distributed memory. The formal log includes sorted messages from the group of batches.
