Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide improved data observability mechanisms. Specifically, embodiments provide for managing event-structured observability data in a federated network and database platform. The improved mechanisms enable improved analysis of data-driven errors and/or storage of associated data for purposes of data observability processing actions and/or rendering for user analysis. Example embodiments are configured for receiving a data stream representing operational engagement of an event-structured service hosted by the federated network and database platform. Some example embodiments are further configured for generating event-structured observability data from the data stream utilizing an event processing pipeline. The example embodiments are further configured for storing the event-structured observability data in at least one event-structured observability data repository of the federated network and database platform. The example embodiments are further configured for initiating an event-driven observability action based on the event-structured observability data.

Claims18

Dependent claims

An apparatus for managing event-structured observability data in a federated network and database platform, the event-structured observability data generated via first operational engagement of a first event-structured service and second operational engagement of a second event-structured service, the apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one non-transitory memory, the at least one non-transitory memory having computer-coded instructions stored thereon that, in execution with the at least one processor, configures the apparatus to:

receive a linked observable data elements stream representing operational engagement of the second event-structured service hosted by the federated network and database platform, the linked observable data elements stream including a plurality of linked observable data elements associated with at least one linking identifier, the plurality of linked observable data elements comprising at least linked metrics data associated with the at least one linking identifier, linked logs data associated with the at least one linking identifier, and linked trace data associated with the at least one linking identifier, and wherein the at least one linked identifier comprises a sub-linking identifier generated by the first operational engagement of the first event-structured service and propagated to the second event-structured service in association with the second operational engagement of the second event-structured service;
store event-structured observability data based on the linked observable data elements stream in at least one event-structured observability data repository of the federated network and database platform;
and
initiate an event-driven observability action based on the event-structured observability data, wherein to initiate the event-driven observability action, the apparatus is configured to:
receive a user query for observability data;
and
provide at least the portion of the linked observable data elements stream in response to the user query for observability data.

and
initiating an event-driven observability action based on the event-structured observability data, wherein initiating the event-driven observability action comprises:
receiving a user query for observability data;
and
providing at least the portion of the linked observable data elements stream in response to the user query for observability data.

4 more elements

A computer program product for managing event-structured observability data in a federated network and database platform, the event-structured observability data generated via first operational engagement of a first event-structured service and second operational engagement of a second event-structured service, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer program code stored thereon, the computer program product, in execution with at least one processor, configured for:

receiving a linked observable data elements stream representing operational engagement of a second event-structured service hosted by the federated network and database platform, the linked observable data elements stream including a plurality of linked observable data elements associated with at least one linking identifier, the plurality of linked observable data elements comprising at least linked metrics data associated with the at least one linking identifier, linked logs data associated with the at least one linking identifier, and linked trace data associated with the at least one linking identifier, and wherein the at least one linked identifier comprises a sub-linking identifier generated by the first operational engagement of the first event-structured service and propagated to the second event-structured service in association with the second operational engagement of the second event-structured service;
storing event-structured observability data based on the linked observable data elements stream in at least one event-structured observability data repository of the federated network and database platform;
and
initiating an event-driven observability action based on the event-structured observability data, wherein initiating the event-driven observability action comprises:
receiving a user query for observability data;
and
providing at least the portion of the linked observable data elements stream in response to the user query for observability data.
