REAL-TIME DASHBOARDS, ALERTS AND ANALYTICS FOR A LOG INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM

Abstract:

This disclosure describes how data supporting real-time reporting services can be cached during a log intake process. In particular, instead of caching all the log data being generated by an operational system, only the log data relevant to existing queries associated with the real-time reporting services are cached. In some embodiments, only particular metrics contained within the log data are stored for rapid access by the real-time reporting services.
