System and method for updating a non-persistent collector deployed in a compute environment

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing a processing circuitry to execute a process, the process comprising:

• scheduling a collector to collect data from a workload;
• performing a check to determine if a version of an executable collector application present thereon is a current version;
• upon determining the application version is not the current version, updating the collector version to the current version;
• executing the current version to collect data from the workload;
• and
• removing the collector from the workload upon completion of the operation by the collector.

A system for updating a non-persistent collector deployed in a compute environment, comprising:

• a processing circuitry;
• and
• a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the system to:
• schedule a collector to collect data from a workload;
• perform a check to determine if a version of an executable collector application present thereon is a current version;
• upon determination that an application version is not a current version, update a collector version to the current version;
• execute the current version to collect data from the workload;
• and
• remove the collector from the workload upon completion of an operation by the collector.
