Abstract

Indices of storage systems are managed. An example method includes: receiving a flush cycle for flushing expired events in a storage system including multiple events in a data stream, determining, based on the flush cycle, a time slice for managing the index of the storage system, creating a slice index node for the time slice in response to determining that the occurrence time of a first event that enters the storage system in the data stream is within the time slice, wherein the slice index node includes an index node of the first event, and adding the slice index node to the index. A corresponding device and a corresponding computer program product are provided. Thus, the index of a large number of events entering the storage system is managed according to the occurrence time of the events, and the storage system can be searched and updated accurately and effectively.
