Claim 18:
19. Non-transitory computer-readable media including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to:
process a service discovery message received from a load balancer;
identify that a first virtual machine in the computing system separate from the load balancer has a processing load less than a threshold level;
transmit, to the load balancer, a public address of the first virtual machine;
process, by the first virtual machine, a request to write raw machine data to a first topic received from a computing device;
determine, by the first virtual machine, that a second virtual machine in the computing system is associated with the first topic;
transmit, from the first virtual machine to the computing device and bypassing the load balancer, a public address of the second virtual machine; and
in response to transmission of the public address of the second virtual machine, process, by the second virtual machine and bypassing the load balancer, the raw machine data received from the computing device.
