The patent US12056542B2 outlines a computer-implemented method for unified event monitoring and log processing. This method involves receiving streaming event data from various domains, including a cloud manager and applications running in containers. The data is processed into a normalized format, and a set of policy rules—defined with a unified syntax—are evaluated in real time. When a specified condition in these rules is met, an action is transmitted to a remote device for execution. The method also includes capturing event entries through a system call capture component and utilizing plugins to gather diverse logs, such as user activity and API usage logs.

Additionally, the method encompasses storing log data in cloud-based storage and generating an index for efficient access. Users can request information matching specific criteria, and the system retrieves relevant records based on the index without needing to traverse a network. The actions specified in the policy rules can include notifications, user access modifications, and other security measures based on various conditions, such as login success or resource usage thresholds. This comprehensive approach aims to enhance real-time monitoring and response capabilities in cloud environments.
