Systems and methods are directed to monitoring and managing a health of a content processing data ingestion pipeline. In example embodiments, a plurality of content elements are ingested from a source to a destination through the ingestion pipeline, whereby the ingestion pipeline comprises a plurality of nodes between the source and the destination. A data management system detects a gap in the ingestion pipeline. The gap indicates a difference associated with a content element of the plurality of content elements between a first node and a second node of the ingestion pipeline. In response to detecting the gap, the data management system automatically triggers reingesting of the content element from the first node. The data management system also determines, based on monitoring of the ingestion pipeline, the health of the ingestion pipeline and provides a dashboard that graphically represents the health.

Content processing data ingestion pipeline monitoring and management system

Systems and methods are provided that automatically process a message input, construct an intelligent query based on the processing of the message input, and provide at least one attachable entity according to the processing results and the intelligent query. In some example aspects, a message is received. A natural language processor to determine if the message is requesting content may then process the message. If the message is determined to be requesting content, then candidate sub-queries may be generated to serve as a training set for a query that will be sent to an external search engine to retrieve the attachable entity. The sub-queries may be ranked in order of relevance and performance score. The highest ranked sub-queries may then be used in the actual query that is fired against the external search engine. The external search engine may search local and remote repositories for the top K most relevant attachable entities and present them to a user for attachment in a reply message.

Intelligent query system for attachments

Computer systems, devices, and associated methods of providing distributed index searching are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, at a database server, search terms included in a search query for content from a member and in response to receiving the search terms, determining a subset of the distributed indices to be searched in response to the search query based on the received search terms and one or more records of searching features on the database server. The method also includes providing the determined list of distributed indices to be searched based on the search terms in the search query.

Distributed index searching in computing systems

A client is authenticated by a server receiving an initial request from the client at the beginning of a session. The server receiving the initial request generates an authentication token and returns the authentication token to the client in response to the client being authenticated. The user's credentials used to authenticate the client are stored in the authentication token along with other information. After receiving the authentication token from the server that generated the authentication token, the client passes the authentication token with each of the future requests to the pool of servers. Using the client to pass the transferrable authentication token, the servers share the user's identity/credentials in a decentralized manner. Any server from the shared pool of servers that receives a subsequent client request is able to decrypt the token and re-authenticate the user without having to prompt the client for authentication credentials again.

Multi-server authentication token data exchange

Systems, methods, and software are provided for facilitating a message service. A multi-role system is identified based on where an active message database associated with a user identity resides. Service communications generated by a messaging client associated with the user identity are directed from an entry system to the multi-role system for handling in the multi-role system by a messaging server and a content server to provide the message service.
