System, apparatus and method for advanced monitoring in an edge system

A machine-readable medium having stored thereon instructions, which if performed by a machine cause the machine to perform a method comprising:

• receiving, in a switch coupled to a plurality of devices, telemetry rule registration requests from at least some of the plurality of devices;
• storing a telemetry rule for each of the telemetry rule registration requests in a telemetry rule database;
• monitoring traffic through the switch associated with the at least some of the plurality of devices and maintaining telemetry information regarding the traffic;
• and
• in response to the telemetry information associated with a first device and based on a first telemetry rule for the first device, sending a callback message to the first device, the callback message including at least some of the telemetry information associated with the first device.

An edge system comprising:

• a platform having at least one processor and at least one system memory, wherein the at least one processor is to execute a first function;
• a switch coupled to the platform, the switch comprising:
• a monitor circuit to monitor traffic of a plurality of functions and maintain telemetry information regarding the traffic based at least in part on telemetry rules received from the plurality of functions, wherein the monitor circuit is to determine whether to send a callback message to a selected one of the plurality of functions, the callback message including telemetry information associated with the traffic of the selected function;
• and
• a storage coupled to the monitor circuit, the storage to store the telemetry information, wherein the monitor circuit is to access the telemetry information from the storage;
• and
• a pooled memory coupled to the switch, wherein the pooled memory is to store a first payload of the first function.
