METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REAL-TIME DISTRIBUTED DATA MINING AND ANALYSIS FOR NETWORKS

摘要

A data mining and analysis method and system (11, fig. 1) can be implemented in an open architecture and use a multiple-tiered design to collect and analyze data relating to network devices (21, fig. 1) in essentially real-time or near real-time. Analyzer modules (29, fig. 1) are implemented in a distributed, multi-layered manner and process log data in a distributed and hierarchical manner to reduce data transfer needed for reporting. Analyzer modules (29, fig. 1) analyze sequences of numbers and strings generated from software that understands analyzer module commands such as a parser module for such applications as collecting real-time voting information, and analyzing and aggregating real-time number sequence generated by media servers, among other applications.
