Abstract
Technologies for simulating service degradation in telemetry data include a simulator device. The simulator device is to identify a telemetry data stream from a production system to a first management system. The simulator device is also to fork a copy of the telemetry data stream for transmission to a second management system, determine perturbations associated with a determined service degradation type, and apply the perturbations to the forked telemetry data stream. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
Claims18
A simulator device to simulate service degradation in telemetry data, the simulator device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- communication circuitry coupled to the one or more processors;
- one or more memory devices having stored therein a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the simulator device to:
- identify a telemetry data stream from a production system to a first management system;
- pass the telemetry data stream, unmodified, to the first management system;
- fork a copy of the telemetry data stream for transmission to a second management system;
- determine perturbations associated with a determined service degradation type;
- apply the perturbations to the forked telemetry data stream;
- transmit the perturbed telemetry data stream to the second management system;
- collect reaction data associated with the second management system;
- analyze the collected reaction data comprising to measure one or more of:
- (i) an amount of time for the second management system to determine a cause of the service degradation or (ii) an accuracy of a determination by the second management system of the cause of the service degradation;
- and
- determine, as a function of results of the analysis, configuration changes to a training model associated with the first management system to one or more of:
- (i) reduce the amount of time to determine the cause of the service degradation or (ii) increase the accuracy of the determination of the cause of the service degradation.
