Remote Dynamic Configuration of Telemetry Reporting Through Regular Expressions

A system for dynamic configuration of telemetry data, the system comprising:

• a client to place a library call to a configuration server, the library call including identifying information associated with the client;
• and
• a processor to:
• receive, from the configuration server, one or more regular expressions for configuration of the telemetry data collected at the client, based on the identifying information;
• collect, at the client, the telemetry data based on predetermined criteria;
• match the one or more regular expressions to the telemetry data;
• selectively provide the telemetry data based on the one or more regular expressions to produce filtered telemetry data;
• and
• periodically report the filtered telemetry data to the server.

A non-transitory processor-readable medium having embodied thereon instructions being executable by at least one processor to perform a method for dynamic configuration of telemetry data, the method comprising:

• placing a library call to a configuration server, the library call including identifying information associated with a client;
• based on the identifying information, receiving, from the configuration server, one or more regular expressions for configuration of the telemetry data collected at the client;
• collecting, at the client, the telemetry data based on predetermined criteria;
• matching the one or more regular expressions to the telemetry data;
• selectively providing the telemetry data based on the one or more regular expressions to produce filtered telemetry data;
• and
• periodically reporting the filtered telemetry data to the server.
