Patent attributes
A system of terminating data server nodes based on insufficient processing of messages. In embodiments, a plurality of time-stamped, searchable events from machine data are created. A plurality of data server nodes that service messages across one or more portions of the plurality of time-stamped, searchable events, are executed in parallel. For each message received, the message is sent to a data server node, of the plurality of data server nodes, to cause the receiving data server node to perform a data operation associated with the received message. A determination can then be made that a particular data server node insufficiently processes messages sent to the particular data server node. Thereafter, termination of the particular data server node is initiated to terminate processes or threads executed by the particular data server node.
