Systems and methods for performing business criticality weight-based audits in edge environments

A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations for managing operation of a distributed system, the operations comprising:

• identifying a function invocation of a function of a top level application programming interface hosted by the distributed system;
• identifying an auditing policy that governs the function, the auditing policy being keyed to at least one classification of classifications for functions of the top level application programming interface, the classifications corresponding to levels of importance of the functions based on application programming interface call chains that are run when corresponding ones of the functions are invoked;
• recording, based on the auditing policy, auditing information for other functions of other application programming interfaces that are invoked due to the function invocation;
• using the auditing information to resolve an issue impacting the distributed system to obtain an updated distributed system;
• and
• providing computer implemented services using the updated distributed system.

A data processing system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory, wherein the memory stores instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform operations for managing operation of a distributed system, the operations comprising:
