Systems and methods for implementing shared locks to stream telemetry data between server instances

A system comprising:

• at least one physical processor;
• and
• physical memory comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the physical processor, cause the physical processor to:
• identify a target networking device communicatively connected to a cluster of networked server instances, the networked server instances being configured to consume network telemetry messages;
• apply a shared lock to the target networking device, wherein only a single networked server instance has access to network telemetry messages produced by the target networking device;
• replicate the network telemetry messages produced by the locked target networking device to one or more other server instances in the cluster of networked server instances;
• and
• divert one or more requests for the network telemetry messages produced by the locked target networking device to at least one other server instance in the cluster of networked server instances, allowing the at least one other server instance in the cluster to service the diverted one or more requests for the locked target networking device using the replicated network telemetry messages.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:

• identify a target networking device communicatively connected to a cluster of networked server instances, the networked server instances being configured to consume network telemetry messages;
• apply a shared lock to the target networking device, wherein only a single networked server instance has access to network telemetry messages produced by the target networking device;
• replicate the network telemetry messages produced by the locked target networking device to one or more other server instances in the cluster of networked server instances;
• and
• divert one or more requests for the network telemetry messages produced by the locked target networking device to at least one other server instance in the cluster of networked server instances, allowing the at least one other server instance in the cluster to service the diverted one or more requests for the locked target networking device using the replicated network telemetry messages.
