Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses enable a network security system to more efficiently process and respond to events generated by hypervisors and other associated components of a networked computer system. In this context, a hypervisor event refers broadly to any action that occurs related to one or more components of a hypervisor (including the hypervisor itself, virtual servers hosted by the hypervisor, etc.) and/or to data identifying the occurrence of the action(s) (e.g., a log entry, a notification message, etc.). A security service obtains and analyzes event data from any number of different types of hypervisors, where each different type of hypervisor may represent events differently and/or make event data accessible in different ways, among other differences.
