Abstract

Techniques for creating a custom metric type to be added to a set of metrics generated by a data monitoring platform at run-time are disclosed. A system receives values defining properties of a custom metric type based on a custom metric template and a custom schema template. The system generates an instruction set, based on the values associated with the custom metric template, for generating the custom metric type on an executing data monitoring system. The system validates the instruction set and the custom schema to verify that the definitions for the custom metric type and the custom schema may be executed by the data monitoring system. The system adds the custom metric type, at run-time, to a set of metrics generated by the data monitoring system.

Dependent claims

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more hardware processors cause performance of operations comprising:

collecting, by an executing data monitoring platform, a first set of system data by executing a first set of operations in accordance with a first configuration of the executing data monitoring platform;
based on the first set of system data, generating, by the executing data monitoring platform, a first set of metrics representing the first set of system data, wherein each metric among the first set of metrics is characterized by (a) a particular schema specifying particular system data used to calculate the metric, and (b) a particular instruction set specifying a particular set of calculations to perform to calculate the metric using the particular system data;
receiving, at run-time of the executing data monitoring platform, a request to reconfigure the executing data monitoring platform to generate a custom metric of a custom metric type, the request comprising:
(a) a schema for a custom metric type representing system data collected by an executing data monitoring platform, the schema defining fields of the custom metric type;
and
(b) an instruction set specifying a set of calculations for computing the custom metric type using a subset of the system data corresponding to the fields of the custom metric type, the instruction set further specifying one or more types used to compute the custom metric type;
obtaining, at run-time, by an executing data monitoring platform, information corresponding to the instruction set and the schema for computing the custom metric type;
modifying, at run-time, by the executing data monitoring platform, the first configuration of the executing data monitoring platform to generate a second configuration of the executing data monitoring platform, the second configuration specifying a second set of operations to collect data necessary for computing the custom metric type;
collecting, by the executing data monitoring platform, a second set of system data by executing the second set of operations in accordance with the second configuration of the executing data monitoring platform;
and
based on the second set of system data, generating, by the executing data monitoring platform, a second set of metrics representing the second set of system data, the second set of metrics including the custom metric,
wherein the custom metric is computed by executing the instruction set, received in the request at run-time, using the second set of system data.
