Validation of systems data

Abstract:

A network connection between a server group of a data intake and query system and each of one or more source network nodes is established. Source data at the server group is received from at least one of the one or more source network nodes via the respective network connections and transformed, by the indexer server, to timestamped entries of machine data. A model management server detects data constraints for a security model. Using the timestamped entries, the data constraints are validated to obtain a validation result, where validating the data constraints includes determining whether the timestamped entries satisfy the availability requirement set for the data element. The model management server determines a data availability assessment of the security model based on the validation result.
