US Patent 10985970 Automatic actionable event responder for operational clusters

An operational event processor receives information describing operational events arising in relation to a server cluster of a data intake and query system. Responsive actions are identified for the events that are actionable, and those responsive actions are automatically dispatched. Dispatching may include automatically causing the performance of the actions based on remembered preauthorizations, or automatically causing the performance of the actions based on obtaining real time user authorizations. The operational event processor may employ mechanisms to provide extensibility and a high degree of interoperability with other system components.
