“Glenn was the best teacher I've ever had on APIs, kindly volunteering his time as a teacher in a Product Management mentorship circle. He has the unique ability to convey abstract concepts at a high level from a Product Manager POV, combined with the in depth knowledge of an engineer at the forefront of his field. We are so lucky to learn from him, given his numerous experiences building APIs at Splunk, Auth0, Microsoft, etc. Glenn is also one of the most warm hearted and passionate people I've ever met, and in general just an awesome human being!”

A data intake and query system receives a message including raw machine via an internet protocol (IP) such as the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP). The message includes a distinct payload portion and a distinct custom field portion. The payload portion includes raw machine data, while the custom field portion includes values for fields. An event that includes the raw machine data and the values is generated from the payload portion and the values are extracted from the custom field portion…
A data intake and query system receives a message including raw machine via an internet protocol (IP) such as the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP). The message includes a distinct payload portion and a distinct custom field portion. The payload portion includes raw machine data, while the custom field portion includes values for fields. An event that includes the raw machine data and the values is generated from the payload portion and the values are extracted from the custom field portion. The event is then stored such that the values are associated with the event.

Each event is associated with a token, which is also configurable and provides settings such as metadata settings for the raw machine data. The raw machine data is stored as events based on the metadata. Electronic devices that generate raw machine data may transmit the raw machine data to the data intake and query system within HTTP messages. The HTTP messages may also include settings such as metadata for the raw machine data. The raw machine data is stored as events based on the global metadata settings, token metadata settings, and HTTP message metadata settings.
