A multitenant deployment includes a computing cluster that executes multiple containerized instances of a software application. Each containerized instance is associated with one or more datastores that can be assigned to different tenants. A registry store maintains a mapping between tenants and datastores, thereby allowing a registry manager to properly route tenant requests to the correct datastores. A capacity manager tracks tenant usage of datastores in the registry store and then scales computing resources for each tenant in proportion to usage. The capacity manager also migrates tenant resources in response to catastrophic failures or upgrades. In this fashion, the multitenant deployment can adapt a single-tenant software application for multi-tenancy in a manner that is both transparent and secure for the tenant.

Managing user data in a multitenant deployment

Embodiments are directed towards a system and method for a cloud-based front end that may abstract and enable access to the underlying cloud-hosted elements and objects that may be part of a multi-tenant application, such as a search application. Search objects may be employed to access indexed objects. An amount of indexed data accessible to a user may be based on an index storage limit selected by the user, such that data that exceeds the index storage limit may continue to be indexed. Also, one or more projects can be elastically scaled for a user to provide resources that may meet the specific needs of each project.

Enabling role-based operations to be performed on machine data in a machine environment

Optimizing resource allocation for projects executing in a cloud-based environment

Various embodiments describe multi-site cluster-based data intake and query systems, including cloud-based data intake and query systems. Using a hybrid search system that includes cloud-based data intake and query systems working in concert with so-called 'on-premises' data intake and query systems can promote the scalability of search functionality. In addition, the hybrid search system can enable data isolation in a manner in which sensitive data is maintained 'on premises' and information or data that is not sensitive can be moved to the cloud-based system. Further, the cloud-based system can enable efficient leveraging of data that may already exist in the cloud.

Retrieving, modifying, and depositing shared search configuration into a shared data store

In embodiments, at a first cluster, information identifying a plurality of indexers of the first cluster is determined based on a master node of the first cluster identifying active indexers within the first cluster. The information is transmitted from the first cluster to a second cluster. Such information can include a list of active indexers, and an indication of how to communicate with the plurality of indexers that is used by the second cluster in distributing a distributed search query. The distributed search query is received at the plurality of indexers of the first cluster. The distributed search query is distributed across the plurality of indexers based on the information identifying the plurality of indexers. A response is provided from at least one of the plurality of indexers, wherein each response from a respective indexer is generated based on an evaluation of the distributed search query.

Using indexers from multiple systems

Systems and methods are provided for provisioning a hosted computing environment in accordance with customer requirements relating to a service. In some embodiments, a computer-implemented method is provided. The method includes generating a graphical interface on a computing device and receiving input corresponding to an indication of one or more requirements, wherein the input is received using the graphical interface, and wherein the one or more requirements correspond to a hosted computing environment. The method further comprises converting each indication of the one or more requirements into one or more entries of a provisioning template, wherein the provisioning template includes multiple entries, and wherein the provisioning template is associated with the hosted computing environment. The method further comprises providing the provisioning template to a provisioning program to provision the hosted computing environment.

Automatic generation of template for provisioning services in a hosted computing environment

The various embodiments describe multi-site cluster-based data intake and query systems, including cloud-based data intake and query systems. Using a hybrid search system that includes cloud-based data intake and query systems working in concert with so-called 'on-premises' data intake and query systems can promote the scalability of search functionality. In addition, the hybrid search system can enable data isolation in a manner in which sensitive data is maintained 'on premises' and information or data that is not sensitive can be moved to the cloud-based system. Further, the cloud-based system can enable efficient leveraging of data that may already exist in the cloud. In addition, various embodiments enable configuration data associated with search functionality to be shared amongst clusters in a manner that promotes cluster security. Specifically, a shared data store can be utilized to store configuration information such that when a particular cluster wishes to use the configuration information, it simply retrieves the configuration information from the shared data store, thus avoiding direct communication with other clusters. Although the invention has been described in language specific to structural features and/or methodological acts, it is to be understood that the invention defined in the appended claims is not necessarily limited to the specific features or acts described. Rather, the specific features and acts are disclosed as example forms of implementing the claimed invention.
