US 11,451,450 B2 · Scalable control plane for telemetry data collection within a distributed computing system

Abstract

An example control plane that is executed on one or more processors in a distributed computing system is configured to receive an indication of a node to be onboarded into the distributed computing system, wherein the node comprises one of a compute node or a network device node, to discover one or more compute resources or network device resources that are associated with the node, and to assign, based on the discovery, the node to a collector that is executed in the distributed computing system, wherein the collector is configured to collect real-time telemetry data for the node during operation of the node. The control plane is further configured to receive, from the collector, the real-time telemetry data for the node that is collected by the collector, and to output, for display, a visual representation of the real-time telemetry data for the node.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving, by one or more processors of a distributed computing system, an indication of a node to onboard for the distributed computing system, wherein the one or more processors are configured to onboard a compute node associated with one or more compute resources and to onboard a network device node associated with one or more network device resources in the distributed computing system, and wherein the node comprises one of the compute node or the network device node;
assigning, by the one or more processors, the node to one of a compute node collector or a network device node collector of the distributed computing system based on whether the node comprises the one of the compute node or the network device node;
receiving, by the one or more processors, telemetry data for the node that is collected over a period of time by the one of the compute node collector or the network device node collector assigned to the node;
and
outputting, by the one or more processors and for display, a visual representation of the telemetry data for the node.

2 more elements

A computing system comprising:

one or more processors;
and
at least one computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to:
receive an indication of a node to onboard for a distributed computing system, wherein the instructions cause the one or more processors to onboard a compute node associated with one or more compute resources and to onboard a network device node associated with one or more network device resources in the distributed computing system, and wherein the node comprises one of the compute node or the network device node;
assign the node to one of a compute node collector or a network device node collector of the distributed computing system based on whether the node comprises the one of the compute node or the network device node;
receive telemetry data for the node that is collected over a period of time by the one of the compute node collector or the network device node collector assigned to the node;
and
output, for display, a visual representation of the telemetry data for the node.
