Data center resource monitoring with managed message load balancing with reordering consideration

A computing system, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• processing circuitry in communication with the memory, the processing circuitry configured to execute logic comprising an ingress engine configured to:
• receive a first plurality of messages from a network device in a data center comprising a plurality of network devices and the computing system, wherein the first plurality of messages comprises data configured according to a first protocol type, wherein the first protocol type has a high tolerance for reordering of messages comprising data;
• receive a second plurality of messages from the network device, wherein the second plurality of messages comprises data configured according to a second protocol type, wherein the second protocol type has a low tolerance for reordering of messages comprising data;
• in response to receiving the first plurality of messages from a network device in the data center, communicate messages of the first plurality of messages across multiple appropriate collector applications compatible with the first protocol type;
• and
• in response to receiving the second plurality of messages from the network device in the data center, communicate messages of the second plurality of messages to a single appropriate collector application compatible with the second protocol type,
• wherein each appropriate collector application of the single appropriate collector application and the multiple collector applications is configured to assemble at least the data in the received messages into a viable dataset for an analysis of at least the network device of the plurality of network devices.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions for causing a programmable processor to:

• receive, by an ingress engine running on processing circuitry of a computing system, a first plurality of messages from a network device in a data center comprising a plurality of network devices and the computing system, wherein the first plurality of messages comprises data configured according to a first protocol type, wherein the first protocol type has a high tolerance for reordering of messages comprising data;
• receive, by the ingress engine, a-second-plurality of messages from the network device, wherein the second plurality of messages comprises data configured according to a second protocol type, wherein the second protocol type has a low tolerance for reordering of messages comprising data;
• in response to receiving the first plurality of messages from the network device in the data center, communicate the messages of the first plurality of messages across multiple appropriate collector applications compatible with the first protocol type;
• and
• in response to receiving the second plurality of messages from the network device in the data center, communicate, by the ingress engine, messages of the second plurality of messages to a single appropriate collector application compatible with the second protocol type,
• wherein each appropriate collector application of the single appropriate collector application and the multiple collector applications is configured to assemble at least the data in the received messages into a viable dataset for an analysis of at least the network device of the plurality of network devices.
