Scale between consumer systems and producer systems of resource monitoring data

An information handling system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory accessible by at least one of the processors;
• a nonvolatile storage area accessible by at least one of the processors;
• a set of instructions stored in the memory and executed by at least one of the processors in order to perform actions of:
• identifying a first rule corresponding to a first hierarchical level of a consumer system, wherein the first rule includes one or more prescriptions corresponding to one or more resource classes included in a producer system;
• creating a second rule that corresponds to a second hierarchical level of the consumer system, wherein the first rule is subordinate to the second rule and wherein the second rule includes a reference to the first rule;
• sending the second rule to a producer system;
• and
• receiving, at the consumer system, prescription results from the producer system that correspond to the one or more prescriptions.

A computer program product stored in a computer readable storage device, comprising functional descriptive material that, when executed by an information handling system, causes the information handling system to perform actions that include:

• identifying a first rule corresponding to a first hierarchical level of a consumer system, wherein the first rule includes one or more prescriptions corresponding to one or more resource classes included in a producer system;
• creating a second rule that corresponds to a second hierarchical level of the consumer system, wherein the first rule is subordinate to the second rule and wherein the second rule includes a reference to the first rule;
• sending the second rule to a producer system;
• and
• receiving, at the consumer system, prescription results from the producer system that correspond to the one or more prescriptions.
