Abstract
Techniques to process machine generated log data are disclosed. In various embodiments, a parser definition associated with a set of log data is determined. The parser definition is compiled to create an instance of a parser to parse the set of log data. The parser has a hierarchical structure comprising a plurality of hierarchically related nodes, each of at least a subset of said nodes having associated therewith one or more actors each configured to parse data associated with that node. At least a portion of the set of log data is sent to the parser instance prior to compilation of said parser instance being completed. A first node of the parser instance is configured to receive and parse log data associated with the first node even if compilation of the parser definition has not been completed with respect to a second node of said parser instance.
