Methods, systems, and computer readable mediums for performing an aggregated free-form query
One method includes receiving aggregated free-form query information comprising a first section and a second section for requesting data pertaining to a computing system and converting the first section and the second section of the aggregated free-form query information into an original query portion and a contingency query portion for accessing at least one data set. The method further includes accessing, using the original query portion, the at least one data set to obtain result information pertaining to an initial element included in the computing system. The method also includes accessing, using the contingency query portion and the result information returned in response to the original query portion, the at least one data set to obtain information for at least one descendant element or ancestor element related to the initial element included in the result information.
1. A method for performing a single natural language query, the method comprising:
receiving the single natural language query that includes aggregated free-form query information comprising a first section and a second section for requesting data pertaining to computer system elements of a computing system, wherein the second section is appended to the first section via a contingency clause, wherein the computer system elements comprise a plurality of physical resources and/or virtualized resources that are included in the computing system, wherein the aggregated free-form query information is represented as a syntax tree;
converting, using the syntax tree, the first section of the aggregated free-form query information into an original query portion, and the second section of the aggregated free-form query information into a contingency query portion for accessing at least one data set;
accessing, using the original query portion, the at least one data set to obtain result information pertaining to an initial computer system element included in the computing system; and
in response to detecting the contingency clause, using the contingency query portion and the result information returned in response to the original query portion to access the at least one data set to obtain computer system element information as specified in the single natural language query by the contingency clause for at least one descendant element or ancestor element related to the initial computer system element included in the result information, wherein the initial computer system element and each of the at least one descendant element or ancestor element are separate elements of the syntax tree.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first section includes an original clause of the aggregated free-form query information and the second section includes a contingency clause that is appended to the original clause.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one data set includes at least one graph database.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the accessing the at least one data set using the result information includes traversing edges of the graph database from a vertex corresponding with the initial computer system element.
5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the at least one data set and the graph database are associated with one or more data management systems.
6. The method of claim 1 , comprising resetting a traversal algorithm to designate a new initial computer system element upon converting the second section to the contingency query portion.
7. A system for performing a single natural language query, the system comprising:
a hardware processor; and
a query engine implemented using the processor, wherein the query engine is configured for:
receiving the single natural language query that includes aggregated free-form query information comprising a first section and a second section for requesting data pertaining to computer system elements of a computing system, wherein the second section is appended to the first section via a contingency clause, wherein the computer system elements comprise a plurality of physical resources and/or virtualized resources that are included in the computing system, tree;
converting, using the syntax tree, the first section of the aggregated freeform query information into an original query portion, and contingency query portion for accessing at least one data set;
accessing, using the original query portion, the at least one data set to obtain result information pertaining to an initial computer system element Included in the computing system; and
in response to detecting the contingency clause, using the contingency query portion and the result information returned in response to the original query portion to access the at least one data set to obtain computer system element information as specified in the single natural language query by the contingency clause for at least one descendant element or ancestor element related to the initial computer system element included in the result information, wherein the initial computer system element and each of the at least one descendant element or ancestor element are separate elements of the syntax tree.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the first section includes an original clause of the aggregated free-form query information and the second section includes a contingency clause that is appended to the original clause.
9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one data set includes at least one graph database.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the query engine is further configured for traversing edges of the graph database from a vertex corresponding with the initial computer s stem element.
11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the at least one data set and the graph database are associated with one or more data management systems.
12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the query engine is further configured for resetting a traversal algorithm to establish a new initial computer system element upon converting the second section to the contingency query portion.
13. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon executable instructions which, when executed by a processor of a computer, cause the computer to perform steps comprising:
receiving a single natural language query that includes aggregated free-form query information comprising a first section and a second section for requesting data pertaining to computer system elements of a computing system, wherein the second section is appended to the first section via a contingency clause, wherein the computer system elements comprise a plurality of physical resources and/or virtualized resources that are included in the computing system, wherein the aggregated free-form query information is represented as a syntax tree;
converting, using the syntax tree, the first section of the aggregated free-form query information into an original query portion, and the second section of the aggregated free-form query information into a contingency query portion for accessing at least one data set;
accessing, using the original query portion, the at least one data set to obtain result information pertaining to an initial computer system element included in the computing system; and
in response to detecting the contingency clause, using the contingency query portion and the result information returned in response to the original query portion to access the at least one data set to obtain computer system element information as specified in the single natural language query by the contingency clause for at least one descendant element or ancestor element related to the initial computer system element included in the result information, wherein the initial computer system element and each of the at least one descendant element or ancestor element are separate elements of the syntax tree.
14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the first section includes an original clause of the aggregated free-form query information and the second section includes a contingency clause that is appended to the original clause.
15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13 , wherein the at least one data set includes at least one graph database.
