The present invention is directed to intelligent and near real-time monitoring in a streaming environment. In embodiments, a streaming platform streams raw data from raw data capture devices, where the raw data is contextually enriched using multiple information sources. A rule execution operator, integrated within the streaming platform, detects events by executing rules against the contextually enriched data. The rules applied are customizable, flexible, multivariate, and dynamically responsive to changing information. When an event is detected, an action can be instantiated in response to the event detection and/or newly derived information. The action and/or instructions for performing the action are communicated to external sources, where the action can be initiated and/or completed. Accordingly, actions are instantiated in near real time relative to the initial receipt of raw data from which the events were detected. Actions may be delayed using sophisticated temporal reasoning, in some embodiments.

Intelligent and near real-time monitoring in a streaming environment

The present invention is directed to a system and methods for integrating flexible event detection into a near real-time streaming environment. A streaming platform streams raw data from multiple sources, adds contextual information to the raw data, and makes inferences from the enriched information. A rule execution operator, being integrated within the streaming platform, executes rules against the enriched information to detect events, using a rule repository that stores a plurality of flexible, dynamic, and customizable rules. When an event is detected by the rule execution operator, the streaming platform may use a middleware component to instantiate actions that are responsive to a detected event. Actions may be directly performed, and/or the actions and instructions for implementing or performing those actions are communicated to external devices.
