US 2020/0091413 A1 · ELASTIC SYSTEM MONITORING

Abstract

A monitoring system using agents to dynamically collect state information at controllable intensity levels from components of systems. The system receives state information collected by an agent at a particular intensity level, and processes the state information to determine an updated intensity level for collecting state information by the agent, or by some other agent. The state information may include data indicating the performance of one or more components, such as process response times or other metrics. The intensity level for collecting further state information can be increased when, among other things, previously collected state information indicates more detailed monitoring for the component is appropriate. The intensity level for collecting further state information can be decreased when, among other things, previously collected state information indicates continued expected behavior.

Dependent claims

A method for monitoring a component of a system, comprising:

receiving, from an agent of the component of the system, first state information regarding the component, the first state information collected by the agent at a first intensity level;
determining a second intensity level for collecting second state information regarding the component by the agent based on the first state information, the first state information including a user event value indicating a number of user events processed by the component and a throughput value indicating a number of requests flowing in and out of the component, the second intensity level being different from the first intensity level;
sending an instruction to the agent that causes the agent to collect the second state information at the second intensity level;
and
receiving the second state information collected by the agent at the second intensity level from the agent.
