Scalable data collection for system management

An apparatus comprising:

• a memory comprising:
• a sensor that generates power management data for the memory;
• and
• a local data collector configured to:
• collect the power management data;
• determine whether a first formatting associated with a first channel between the local data collector and a system power management data collector is equivalent to a second formatting associated with a second channel between the local data collector and the system power management data collector;
• and
• in response to a determination that the first formatting and second formatting are not equivalent, the local data collector is configured to:
• format the power management data according to the first formatting;
• store the power management data formatted according to the first formatting in a first location in the memory;
• format the power management data according to the second formatting;
• and
• store the power management data formatted according to the second formatting in a second location in the memory.

A computer program product for scalable data collection, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer readable storage medium having computer usable program code embodied therewith, the computer usable program code configured to:
• collect, by a local data collector, power management data for a memory subsystem, wherein the memory subsystem comprises:
• a sensor that generates power management data for the memory subsystem;
• and
• the local data collector;
• determine, by the local data collector, whether a first formatting associated with a first channel between the local data collector and a system power management data collector is equivalent to a second formatting associated with a second channel between the local data collector and the system power management data collector;
• in response to a determination that the first formatting and second formatting are not equivalent:
• format, by the local data collector, the power management data according to the first formatting;
• store, by the local data collector, the power management data formatted according to the first formatting in a first location in the memory;
• format, by the local data collector, the power management data according to the second formatting;
• and
• store, by the local data collector, the power management data formatted according to the second formatting in a second location the memory.
