1. A method for data ingestion by a distributed-computing system implementing a management plane and a data plane, the method comprising:
at the management plane:
receiving data generated by one or more components of an information processing system;
replicating and storing the data across a plurality of separate management nodes of the management plane, including storing a copy of the replicated data in each management node of the plurality of separate management nodes;
selecting, from a plurality of data cores, a data core to ingest the data;
processing the data to generate one or more event records corresponding to one or more log events that occurred at the information processing system; and
sending the one or more event records to the selected data core, wherein the sending causes the data plane to store the one or more event records in the selected data core.
