Embodiment Construction

[0028] Embodiments described below can be used to enable comprehensive, dynamic and relevant data searches in virtualized environments. While the present embodiments have been described with reference to specific exemplary embodiments, it will be evident that various modifications and changes may be made to these embodiments without departing from the broad spirit and scope of the various embodiments.

[0029] figure 1 A search system 100 is shown in accordance with one or more embodiments. In one or more embodiments, the search system 100 may include a crawling module 102 configured to retrieve (eg, download, crawl, collect) relevant data from sources in a virtualization environment (VE). In one or more embodiments, sources of VEs may include virtual machines (VMs), virtual applications (vApps), host servers, databases, and / or directories. In one or more embodiments, a vApp may be a container that includes one or more VMs. In one or more embodiments, vApps can be switched ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for indexing the data and / or metadata in an online virtual machine (VM), an offline VM, a virtual application and / or a snapshot thereof on one or a plurality of host servers in a virtual environment through a search architecture in the virtual environment. The online VM is a connected VM, the offline VM is a disconnected VM. The method further adopts a database for maintaining the indexed data and / or metadata in the online VM, the offline VM, the virtual application and the snapshot thereof so as to produce a comprehensive search result relative to a search query through the search architecture. The database is associated with search architecture.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to virtualization and, more particularly, to methods, apparatus and systems for enabling comprehensive, correlated and dynamic data searching in a virtualized environment. Background technique [0002] Commercial search engines (eg, ) serves as a window to the information world and is exploited by people to obtain useful information of interest by performing searches within it. In a virtualized environment including virtual machines (VMs), users may have to manage a large number of VMs and snapshots. When a user wishes to find data inside a VM, it is likely that he / she does not remember the VM corresponding to the data. Thus, a user may have to switch on every possible VM to see what's inside, which leads to an unpleasant experience. Contents of the invention [0003] The invention discloses a method, a device and a system for realizing comprehensive, dynamic and relevant data search in a virtualized envir...
