More Information
Summary:Network appliances can record log entries in log objects. An object store can receive the log objects and can use the log objects to create index objects and flow log objects. Each flow log object and index object can be associated with a time period wherein the flow log object includes flow log entries received during that time period. The index object includes shard tables that can be stored in different nonvolatile memories and can thereby be concurrently searched. Shard entries in the shard tables indicate flow entry indicators. The flow entry indicators indicate log entries in the flow log object. An internally indexed searchable object can include the flow log object and the index object. Numerous indexed fields in the flow log entries and can be indexed with each indexed field searchable via the shard entries.
